One Laptop, Endless Possibilities

By Amy Baty-Herbert | Project Leader

Thanks to your generosity, young women like Koterah are breaking barriers and building brighter futures through education.

Koterah, a first-year Applied Accounting student at IPAM University, recently received a laptop—a critical tool for her studies. For her, this is more than just technology; it is a gateway to knowledge, independence, and opportunity.

With heartfelt gratitude, she shared:
"Hello, my name is Koterah. I am a student of the IPAM university studying Applied Accounting in year one. I want to say a very big thank you to Develop Africa for giving me this laptop. I want to say a very big thank you because this will be a great help to me. It will help me compile my notes and do my assignments. Thank you so much. "

Your support is transforming lives. Educating girls means empowering future leaders, lifting families out of poverty, and strengthening entire communities. Each donation is not just meeting a need—it is helping a girl step confidently toward her dreams and create lasting change.

Together, we are proving that when girls are given the chance to learn, they thrive. Thank you for believing in Koterah and countless other young women who are determined to succeed.

With deep appreciation,
Amy & the Develop Africa Team
