Countdown to Giving Tuesday With New School Chairs

By Amy Baty-Herbert | Project Coordinator

Thanks to your support, 340 tables and chairs were transported and delivered to schools in the Freetown / Western area - including Chapel International Primary School, Dantrimark Academy, Prince of Wales Secondary School, REC Primary School, Savage Square Municipal Primary School, and Services Secondary School.

The students, teachers/school leadership, were very thankful to receive the desks and chairs. This meets a definite need as schools need new furniture with increased enrollment. Also, some schools are moving from 2 shifts to 1 shift - meaning a substantial demand for more chairs and desks. This also reduces any additional costs parents will have to bear in purchasing furniture for the school.

We invite you to countdown with us to #GivingTuesday, November 29th. GlobalGiving’s GivingTuesday campaign will last 24 hours, from 00:00:00 EST to 23:59:59 EST, on November 29, 2022.

GlobalGiving has bonus funds that will make each donation received go even further, which will help more students in Sierra Leone with their educational needs.

Let's #MoveAMillion for Future Leaders in Sierra Leone!
