Challenge

Many families in Kamawornie, a remote village in northern Sierra Leone, live in extreme poverty. Items like shoes are just not something families can afford. However, shoes are greatly needed because these students have to walk miles to get to school and miles after school to get home.

Solution

This project will raise money to provide children in Kamarwornie with shoes.

Long-Term Impact

The project is an effective long-term investment as it provides quality educational opportunities for children and youths. This is helping them to rise above poverty, become independent and better decision-makers. They are then better capable of making a significant contribution to their families, communities, nation, and the world at large. Education reduces poverty.
