A Fresh Coat of Paint, A Brighter Environment for Learning and Growth

By Amy Baty-Herbert | Project Leader

We’re excited to share that the Develop Africa Sierra Leone (DASL) office building has been beautifully repainted, inside and out!

While a coat of paint may seem like a small change, it has made a big impact—not only in improving the building’s appearance but in creating a more welcoming, vibrant, and professional environment for the children, families, and staff we serve.

The clean, fresh look of the space uplifts everyone who walks through the doors—from young learners arriving to receive educational support, to mothers seeking guidance, to staff who work daily to bring our mission to life.

A well-maintained building sends a powerful message: that every child and every person who enters here matters. When students walk into a clean, well-cared-for facility, they feel a greater sense of dignity and pride. It encourages focus, boosts morale, and fosters a learning environment where children can truly thrive.

This transformation goes beyond aesthetics—it reflects our deeper commitment to creating environments that nurture confidence, learning, and well-being. As we continue to support the educational journeys of children and youth in Sierra Leone, having a clean, safe, and uplifting space is essential to delivering that support effectively.

Thank you for being a vital part of this journey. Your generosity makes it possible for children and youth to access more than just a clean and welcoming learning space—you’re also helping provide the school supplies, mentorship, and resources they need to succeed. Together, we’re empowering the next generation of leaders.

With gratitude,
Amy and the Develop Africa Team
