Educate the Future Leaders of Sierra Leone

On September 8th, we celebrate International Literacy Day, which serves as a powerful reminder of literacy’s essential role in promoting human dignity, human rights, and sustainable development. 

Investing in literacy and education is one of the most impactful ways we can foster the growth and development of children. Your contributions ensure that children, like Emmanuel, in Sierra Leone have access to quality education, equipping them with the skills to become the future leaders their communities need.

Emmanuel is a dedicated junior secondary school student who excels in mathematics and dreams of becoming a doctor. In his free time, he enjoys playing football. Your support has been instrumental in keeping him in school, allowing him to pursue his dreams and work toward a brighter future.

We are deeply grateful for your commitment to education and literacy in Sierra Leone.  The most effective way to continue supporting future leaders, like Emmanuel, is through a monthly donation, though every contribution, no matter the size, moves us closer to our goals.

If you have any questions or need more information, feel free to reach out to us at GlobalGiving@developafrica.org.

Warm regards,
Amy and the Develop Africa Team

As the new school year approaches, the Develop Africa Sierra Leone (DASL) team has been hard at work in Freetown distributing 73 backpacks filled with essential school supplies, including pencils, pens, rulers, erasers, water bottles, crayons, sharpeners, markers, and exercise books. In addition to these supplies, financial assistance was provided to help cover tuition fees. This support reached 29 students in grades nursery through class 6, and 44 students from junior secondary to senior secondary school.

The process of gathering, shipping, and distributing these school supplies to Sierra Leone would not be possible without the generosity of donors like you. Your contributions make a tangible difference in the lives of these young students, helping them start the school year with the tools they need to succeed.

Educational support is crucial for underprivileged students, as it provides access to learning opportunities that might otherwise be out of reach.  You have helped make a significant impact on students' lives, giving them the chance to achieve their dreams through education.

Families expressed their gratitude to Develop Africa Sierra Leone and donors like you, for the educational support provided to the students.  The students express their gratitude in this video

On behalf of all the beneficiaries in Freetown, I want to say a very big thank you to Develop Africa and all donors for supporting us with these school materials.  Thank you, we love you all. Thank you, we love you!

We deeply appreciate your continued support!  If you have any questions or need more information, please don't hesitate to email us at GlobalGiving@developafrica.org.

Warm regards,
