Educate the Future Leaders of Sierra Leone

On January 24th, we celebrated the International Day of Education, a day dedicated to recognizing education as a fundamental human right and a crucial driver of sustainable development. The significance of education lies in its ability to serve as a powerful tool for lifting children out of poverty and paving the way for a promising future.

As advocates for quality education in Sierra Leone, we are proud to contribute to the development of future leaders, empowering them to overcome poverty and make informed decisions. Education stands as a proven catalyst for poverty alleviation, fostering lasting change in communities.

Thanks to your ongoing support, we've been able to make a positive impact on the lives of students like Ibrahim. Through your generosity, Ibrahim received essential school supplies and tuition support for the current school year. Currently, in class 5, Ibrahim's favorite subject is Mathematics, and he aspires to become an engineer when he grows up.

On this International Day of Education, we renew our commitment to prioritizing education and invite you to join us in extending this support to more students in Sierra Leone. Your continued assistance makes a tangible difference in shaping the educational journeys of these young minds.

We encourage you to share this project with your contacts and invite them to consider supporting our ongoing initiatives. Together, we can create a brighter future for the children of Sierra Leone.

If you have any questions or would like more information, please feel free to email us at GlobalGiving@developafrica.org.

Warm regards,

Amy and the Develop Africa Team

Hawanatu is currently taking computer classes at the Develop Africa Sierra Leone (DASL) Computer Lab.
She expresses her gratitude for this opportunity in this video saying, "My name is Hawanatu. I am really happy to be part of Develop Africa Computer School in Sierra Leone. I gained a lot of experience because this is the first place I touched a keyboard ever in my life. I have learned good things so many things in this place and now I am able to type."

Students, including Hawanatu, are at varying levels in their computer training, which includes Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Word, Microsoft Access, Microsoft PowerPoint, and Hardware and Networking. Classes are set up so that everyone has access to a computer and are available at varying times and days depending on the group each student is in.

Thanks to you, more youths and young adults are getting the computer training they need for success in today's technology-driven environment. If you haven't already, we invite you to consider setting up a recurring donation to ensure that more young minds in Sierra Leone are empowered with education including computer training.

If you have any questions, please feel free to email us at GlobalGiving@developafrica.org.
