Educate the Future Leaders of Sierra Leone

We are happy to share a powerful update from Mgbaikoli Village in Sierra Leone—a community that now shines brighter thanks to new solar power street lights.

In this short video, you'll hear directly from the residents of Mgbaikoli, who are expressing deep gratitude for the installation of street solar lights.

The people of Mgbaikoli were delighted to have the first solar street lights ever installed in their village, which will help bring light at night.

These solar lights are more than just a source of illumination—they represent hope, dignity, and progress. They are helping lift an entire community toward a brighter future, literally and figuratively.

This gift of light is especially meaningful for students, who now have the opportunity to read, study, and complete their homework after sunset. In a country where many families cannot afford indoor lighting, these solar-powered street lights create new possibilities for academic success. Education is the key to unlocking a better future, and thanks to your support, students in Mgbaikoli are better equipped to reach their full potential and become the next generation of leaders in Sierra Leone.

We look forward to sharing more progress as we continue working together to empower and uplift communities across Sierra Leone.

With gratitude,
The Develop Africa Team

We’re happy to share an inspiring update from Kamawornie, Sierra Leone—directly from the heart of the classroom.

In a recent interview, the Principal of Kamawornie Evangelical Junior Secondary School expressed his deep appreciation for the generous support from donors like you. Your contributions are doing more than just building classrooms or delivering school supplies—they are shaping the minds and futures of young leaders in the community.

“Develop Africa has been very helpful in improving the quality of education in Kamawornie,” the Principal shared. “Your support makes a huge difference in the lives of our students.”

Many students in this rural community face immense barriers to education, from a lack of materials to limited access to quality instruction. But you are helping make it possible for students to stay in school, focus on their studies, and dream bigger.

The Principal emphasized the long-term impact of your support:

“When you educate a child, you empower a family and uplift an entire community.”

We are committed to continuing this work—educating and equipping the next generation of leaders in Kamawornie and beyond. But we can’t do it without you. Your ongoing support helps us sustain and expand these efforts where they’re needed most.

Thank you for being part of this transformative journey.

With gratitude,
Amy and the Develop Africa Team
