Challenge

According to the United Nations, 42% of African school children will drop out before the end of primary education. These 3 sisters are in the Dream Home orphanage and Develop Africa is committed to providing them with the opportunity of a better future. Together we can provide the needed support so that they do not drop of school and end up in undesirable lifestyles.

Solution

Funds from this project will help Hannah, Flourence and Fatmata continue their education and provide food and housing for a year. Your support will help provide all they need to be successful in school this year and empower these young women to become forward-thinking leaders of Sierra Leone.

Long-Term Impact

Healthy, well-educated and emancipated women are an excellent foundation for a new and free society. Your support will help these sisters get to the ultimate goal of finishing school and becoming independent and self-sufficient. In their chosen future careers, they will also be contributing to national development.
