16 drums of school supplies were recently shipped from the Develop Africa Tennessee office and are on their way to the Develop Africa Sierra Leone Office in Freetown, Sierra Leone.
These supplies will have a significant impact on hundreds of students across Freetown, Kamawornie, Bo, and Makeni. Students from elementary to high school will benefit from essential items such as pencils, pens, paper, notebooks, book bags, rulers, erasers, pencil sharpeners, crayons, glue, and more.

Together, we're making a profound impact on the education of future leaders. Thank you for playing a vital role in this transformative journey!
