Building Bright Futures - LEGO Donation Inspires Creativity and STEM Learning

By Amy Baty-Herbert | Project Leader

Thanks to the generosity of a dedicated supporter, students in Sierra Leone are exploring creativity and innovation in exciting new ways. Their most recent donation of LEGO building sets was distributed at Dantirimark Academy, sparking joy, imagination, and valuable STEM learning among the students.

At Dantirimark Academy, the LEGO pieces not only encouraged creativity but also strengthened teamwork, problem-solving, and hands-on learning. Teachers expressed how valuable such resources are in helping students think critically and engage in practical learning beyond traditional lessons.

Opportunities like these are especially powerful for girls, as they promote STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) learning — breaking gender stereotypes, encouraging innovation, and helping girls see themselves as future scientists, engineers, and leaders. Through play-based learning, students build confidence and curiosity — essential foundations for lifelong success.

What made this day even more meaningful was the students’ recognition that their joy and learning were made possible because of caring donors like you. Their bright smiles and heartfelt gratitude reflect the profound impact of your continued support.

Your generosity is helping us nurture creativity, confidence, and leadership among children across Sierra Leone — empowering them to build not only with LEGO blocks but also toward a stronger and brighter future.

With heartfelt gratitude,
Amy & The Develop Africa Team
