Educate a Girl, Educate a Nation - Sierra Leone

Because of your generous support, students like Yealie and her brothers are continuing their education and building hope for a brighter future.

For several years, Develop Africa has had the privilege of walking alongside Yealie & her brothers, helping provide educational support, food assistance, and encouragement during challenging times. Your kindness has helped ensure that these children can continue their education and move forward with confidence.

Recently, our founder, Sylvester, had the opportunity to meet with the family at the Develop Africa office in Sierra Leone. During the visit, he shared his appreciation for the donors who have helped make their progress possible.

Sylvester shared:
"This is Sylvester with Develop Africa. I'm here at the office in Sierra Leone. I'm very excited to have the Dumbuya family with me. These are a family we've been working with for several years, and we're deeply grateful for the different support we've received just to help them further their education. We wanted to say a big thank you to everybody who has helped encourage them, further their education, and provide food—all kinds of support they've received. Thank you so much for all you're doing."

The children also wanted to personally express their gratitude. Together they shared a simple but powerful message:

"Thank you for your support. Thank you for your support. We love you."

Moments like this remind us that your generosity goes far beyond financial support. You are giving children stability, encouragement, and the opportunity to continue their education despite difficult circumstances.

Thank you for believing in Yealie, her brothers, and students like them. Your support continues to make education possible and helps empower the next generation of leaders in Sierra Leone.

With heartfelt gratitude,
Amy and the Develop Africa Team
