As 2025 comes to a close, we extend our heartfelt thanks to you for standing with children across Sierra Leone. Because of your generosity and commitment to education, thousands of students have had the opportunity to learn, grow, and move closer to a brighter future.
Throughout this year, your support helped remove barriers that prevent children from attending and fully participating in school, such as poverty, lack of basic learning materials, and limited access to educational opportunities. Because of you, children were able to stay in classrooms, receive essential supplies, engage more confidently in lessons, and continue building the foundation they need for lifelong success.
When children have the tools and resources they need, classrooms become places of confidence, curiosity, and hope. Education does more than teach reading and math—it opens doors to opportunity, strengthens families, and helps communities thrive.
There are still a few hours left to make an impact in 2025. If you are considering a year-end gift, there is still time. Your donation today can help ensure that more children begin 2026 prepared, supported, and ready to learn.
As we look ahead, we are inspired by what we can continue to achieve together. Your belief in education is helping build a stronger, more equitable future for children across Sierra Leone.
From all of us at Develop Africa, we wish you a new year filled with health, happiness, and prosperity. Thank you for making 2025 a year of learning, opportunity, and lasting impact.
With sincere gratitude,
Amy & the Develop Africa Team
