Educate the Future Leaders of Sierra Leone

Providing students with a conducive learning environment is essential, one improvement is to ensure that students have access to desks at home for doing homework and studying, rather than having to sit on the floor. Beyond the physical comfort, desks foster an environment conducive to learning, enhance concentration & focus, and have the potential to positively impact students' overall academic performance. Students who study at a desk are likely to absorb information more effectively and perform better on exams and assessments.

Thanks in part to your support, Alusine received a desk for studying and doing his homework. He expressed his appreciation in this video saying

Hello, my name is Alusine. I want to say a very big thank you to Develop Africa, for helping me get this study table and chair. This study table and chair has helped me improve in school. Thank you.

School is just around the corner.  The Develop Africa Sierra Leone (DASL) team is packing 142 backpacks full of school supplies including- notebooks, erasers, pencils, crayons, rulers, pencil sharpeners, pens, and calculators from the 31 drums that arrived in Freetown in the spring.

The 142 backpacks will be distributed to students from Nursery School through Secondary School in Bo, Kamawornie, Freetown, and Makeni.  Distributions to multiple schools and students will take place over the next few weeks as students get ready to go back to school in September. In addition to school supplies, each of the 142 students will receive tuition support to pay for school. 

Each step of the process of getting school supplies donated, shipped to Sierra Leone, and then distributed to students is only possible because of generous donors like you!  We would greatly appreciate you making a donation to help us reach our goal of $14,796 so that all 142 students get their school supplies and tuition support in September. The average cost per student is $104.00  Donate here
