School Supplies for 142 Students in Sierra Leone

By Amy Baty-Herbert | Project Leader

Organizing 142 sets of school supplies

School is just around the corner. The Develop Africa Sierra Leone (DASL) team is packing 142 backpacks full of school supplies including- notebooks, erasers, pencils, crayons, rulers, pencil sharpeners, pens, and calculators from the 31 drums that arrived in Freetown in the spring.

The 142 backpacks will be distributed to students from Nursery School through Secondary School in Bo, Kamawornie, Freetown, and Makeni. Distributions to multiple schools and students will take place over the next few weeks as students get ready to go back to school in September. In addition to school supplies, each of the 142 students will receive tuition support to pay for school.

Each step of the process of getting school supplies donated, shipped to Sierra Leone, and then distributed to students is only possible because of generous donors like you! We would greatly appreciate you making a donation to help us reach our goal of $14,796 so that all 142 students get their school supplies and tuition support in September. The average cost per student is $104.00 Donate here

Another great way to help us reach our goal is to share this project with your contacts and post it on social media. Copy and paste the text below or create your own.

I support Develop Africa and invite you to help 142 students get school supplies this fall. Can you help? Go to http://goto.gg/2291 to donate.

Warm regards,

Amy and the Develop Africa team
