We greatly appreciate your ongoing educational support for students in Sierra Leone. The International Day of Eradication of Poverty was on Oct 17th. Education is a proven way to alleviate poverty and bring lasting change.
Worldwide, 836 million people still live in extreme poverty. The 2 most affected regions are SubSaharan Africa and South Asia. In these regions, 70% of the global population lives under the poverty line. Access to education contributes to poverty reduction because an educated population is able to take informed decisions contributing to equal rights, economic and natural resources, and to granting basic services for all men and women. -https://en.unesco.org/themes/education/sdgs/material/01
Providing quality education to the future leaders in Sierra Leone is helping them to rise above poverty, and become independent and better decision-makers. It brings lasting empowerment and definite change.
"Education enables upward socioeconomic mobility and is a key to escaping poverty."- UN-SustainableDevelopment -Education
