Workforce Empowerment in Sierra Leone

Warm greetings from the Develop Africa Team

Each new day we are excited about the impact we are making together. We are delighted to provide you with this field update:

A total number of fifteen (15) beneficiaries are currently enrolled in the microfinance /micro credit scheme. This scheme has been of tremendous helping parents to support their families and meet additional costs of education. Here's a heart-warming testimonial from one of the female beneficiaries, Monday Bangura.
 
Monday Bangura is a new, female microfinance beneficiary who joined the scheme in January this year. Monday has three children and her husband is a temporary vehicle driver. More often than not he is without a job. Christiana, Monday’s eldest child is a beneficiary of Develop Africa's scholarship scheme.

In her own words: "I had difficulty providing daily school lunch for Christiana as well as taking care of the other children out of the meager proceeds of peanuts sale I was engaged in. The microfinance support has helped me to expand my business, generate more income and enroll my second child in school. I am very grateful to GlobalGiving and Develop Africa for your support. Indeed, you have restored my dignity and self-esteem in the community. I can now send my children to school with enough food to eat. I thank you very much”.

Thanks donors for helping to restore her dignity and self-esteem. The impact of your donations is powerful and priceless!

Let's impact many more lives together.... We invite you to make a donation today or be sure to include us in your end-of-year-giving plans.

Our very best wishes
