Educate the Future Leaders of Sierra Leone

We are excited to announce that the 30 drums full of school supplies that were shipped from the Develop Africa Tennessee office have arrived in Freetown, Sierra Leone.

You can watch the drums being unloaded at the Develop Africa Sierra Leone office in this video.

These supplies will make a significant difference for hundreds of students across Freetown, Kamawornie, Bo, and Makeni. From elementary to high school, students will benefit from essential items like pencils, pens, paper, notebooks, book bags, rulers, erasers, pencil sharpeners, crayons, glue, and more. Additionally, the shipment includes calculators, solar lights, teaching materials, books, Kindles, e-readers, and iPads.

Every stage of this process, from donation to distribution, is made possible by the generosity of donors like you!

Together, we're truly impacting the education of future leaders; thank you for playing a vital role in this transformative journey! If you haven't already, we warmly welcome your ongoing support through recurring donations.

It's time to celebrate!

We are thrilled to announce the successful completion and grand opening of the Kamawornie Nursery School on February 9, 2024. This milestone marks the culmination of our dedicated efforts to provide early childhood education to underprivileged children in the Kamawornie village.

Early childhood education is pivotal in shaping a child's academic journey, yet many children in vulnerable communities like Kamawornie lack access to formal educational opportunities at this level. Recognizing this disparity, Develop Africa initiated the construction of a three-classroom nursery school building in February 2022, aiming to address this critical need.

We have achieved this remarkable feat through the collaborative efforts of Develop Africa, the local community, and generous supporters like you. The construction process, documented in the photo album linked below, showcases the dedication and commitment of all involved:

Completing the Kamawornie Nursery School signifies more than just a physical structure; it represents a beacon of hope and opportunity for the children of Kamawornie. With access to quality early childhood education, these young learners are better equipped to succeed academically and break the cycle of poverty.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to each one of you who contributed to this project's success. Your generosity and support have made a tangible difference in the lives of these children and their community. Together, we are paving the way for a brighter future in Sierra Leone.
