A Brighter Tomorrow for Africa provides funding for four different school feeding programs, one of which is at an orphanage. The Ben Hirsch Child Care Centre is a home and school for orphans in Kenema, Sierra Leone. A Brighter Tomorrow for Africa has been funding a school feeding program at Ben Hirsch for a full year plus we were able to provide these children food and school supplies when it first opened during the post-Ebola crisis period.
The funding for the feeding program has had a very positive impact on the physical and mental growth of these children who now have assurance of two daily meals. Their performance in school is improving remarkedly and their tests scores are going up.
During the holiday these children were still attend school which has never been done before. The children are eager to continue to learn and BTA has not just given these children food but has helped them in their social behaviors in life.
Additionally, they have developed an “Awards Program” at school where children can be recognized for things like “best behaved child’ and “best school performing child.” These exercises have motivated the children in performing at school and bringing them great joy! Thank you BTA donors!
