Educate a Girl, Educate a Nation - Sierra Leone

Kotera is currently studying at the University of Sierra Leone, Institute of Public Administration and Management (IPAM). Her progress is a direct result of the support she has received from donors who believe in the power of girls’ education.

In a recent message of appreciation, Kotera shared her gratitude:

"Hi, my name is Kotera, and I’m attending the University of Sierra Leone IPAM. I want to say a very big thank you to all the donors for your continued help and support toward our lives and our education. Thank you very much."

Her words are simple, but they reflect something powerful—because of donors like you, a young woman is able to continue her education and move closer to her goals.

When girls like Kotera are able to continue their education:

• They gain skills that prepare them for careers

• They become role models in their communities

• They increase their future earning potential

• They help strengthen families and communities

Thank you for believing in Kotera and in the power of girls’ education. Your support is helping remove the financial barriers that often prevent girls from completing higher education in Sierra Leone.

If you haven't already, consider setting up a recurring donation to support more girls in school. Every contribution, no matter the size, changes lives!

Together, we are helping educate girls and empower the next generation of leaders in Sierra Leone.
