From Class 3 to 3rd Year of College: Mishael's Journey

By Amy Baty-Herbert | Project Leader

Mishael now
Mishael now

Mishael's journey demonstrates what is possible when students are given the support they need to stay in school and pursue their dreams. From a young student in Class 3 to a college student preparing for a professional career, Mishael's story is one of growth, resilience, and hope.

Mishael first began receiving support through Develop Africa when he was in Class 3. Like many children in Sierra Leone, he faced challenges that could have limited his educational opportunities. However, thanks to the generosity of supporters like you, he was able to continue his education year after year, building a strong foundation for his future.

Today, Mishael is completing his third year of college at AI Professional College, where he is pursuing a degree in Information Technology. His progress is a remarkable achievement and a testament to his hard work, determination, and commitment to his studies.

Information technology is an increasingly important field that opens doors to employment, innovation, and leadership opportunities. Through his studies, Mishael is gaining valuable knowledge and skills that will help him contribute to Sierra Leone's growing digital economy and create opportunities for himself and others.

Most importantly, his success would not be possible without donors like you.

Your support has helped provide educational opportunities, encouragement, and resources that have enabled Mishael to continue moving forward despite challenges. Because of your generosity, students are not only completing their education—they are preparing to become the future leaders, innovators, and professionals who will help strengthen their communities and country.

Thank you for believing in students like Mishael and for investing in their futures. Every contribution helps create opportunities that can transform a life, a family, and ultimately an entire community. 

With heartfelt gratitude,

Amy & the Develop Africa Team
