Educate a Girl, Educate a Nation - Sierra Leone

The Year of the Pencil distribution that took place on November 20th to 20 schools across Freetown, included 7,580 pencils being given to 758 students at Stella Maris Primary School in Juba Hill, Lumley.

The students at Stella Maris Primary School were all smiles, receiving their new pencils as can be seen in this photo album

A simple pencil may seem small, but for many children, it is the difference between completing classwork or falling behind… between dreams deferred and dreams pursued.

Because of donors like you, thousands of young learners — especially young girls — now hold the tools they need to succeed. Because of you, classrooms are filled with excitement, confidence, and possibility.

As we continue our commitment to empowering young learners, we invite you to stay connected and keep making a difference. Together, we are building a stronger foundation for education throughout Sierra Leone.
