Summary

Families in Sierra Leone living below the poverty line are not able to send their kids to school due to the many school-related costs. This project will raise the funds to ship much-needed school supplies to children in Sierra Leone. When we provide school supplies to these families this reduces their school-related costs, making school possible for the children. Every child has a right to go to school. Your support will help make this a reality.

Challenge

Each item on the school supply list is a potential added burden for struggling families in Sierra Leone. This could prevent a child from either attending school or participating in full in class activities. Funds from this project will help to cover the shipping costs to provide much-needed school supplies free to children in Sierra Leone. Over 400 children will benefit - receiving notebooks, pencils, backpacks, ruler, erasers, pencil sharpeners etc.

Solution

This project will help to bring economic relief to families by providing free school supplies to at least 400 children. Funds will cover the cost of shipping drums, full of school supplies, to children in time for the start of school this fall. The drums have already been shipped and are on the high seas - en route. Your donation will help bring smiles and supplies to kids like Wilma.

Long-Term Impact

The project is an effective investment in supporting and boosting education. It will help provide quality school supplies for kids and youths helping them learn better in school. Long term, they will rise above poverty and become better decision makers. The principal economic advantage of this education project is that it will help produce people who are capable of making a greater contribution to the national economy.
