Constructing WCC Academy

By Bernice Langley | Director

As an organization, WCC supports research on child poverty and education in Africa. Intuitively, the main means of escaping poverty is education, taken in its broadest sense (formal and informal schooling, skills training and knowledge acquisition). WCC aims to give the children and young people in Sierra Leone a health service fit for the 21st century. This exists partly as an advisory service with plans to improve the capability in the near future.

WCC academy seeks to increase enrolments in primary schools and reduce in the number of school drop outs to improve educational attainment in core subjects. WCC spreads greater awareness of disease prevention and control to reduce mortality rates of disadvantaged people in Sierra Leone. Our goals include: -

Improved access to education and health care services, increasing disadvantaged people's opportunities and future prospects.
Improved sustainable access to safe water and sanitation to reduce illness.

The implementation of the Life Safe, Play Safe module, with HIV/AIDS prevention focuses in Coach and Community Sensitization. This will include Community sensitization, health education, and adult education programs on disease prevention. The use of sports and other activities will enhance healthy child development, foster individual talents and strengthen community partnerships.

In order to meet the above objectives, Kamaray FAMILY donated 4 acres of land situate, lying and being at Maboikandoh Village, Newton, Ward C aforesaid to WCC and shall execute a deed of conveyance in favour of WCC when required to do so; WCC shall construct a primary school, health care centre for mothers and babies, football pitch, staff quarters and resource centres on the said land.Upon execution of this MoU which we have completed, WCC has also survey the said land and the Kamaray Family through Madam Rita Kamaray who is in the porcess of executing the conveyance in favour of WCC.The building projects will start in September 2019.

The World Changing Centre has been improving the quality of life for underprivileged children aged between 5-25 years who live in Eastern of Freetown in Sierra Leone. The dedication of our volunteers helps enable children to realise their talents and potential for success. Education focuses on core subjects and vocational skills through apprenticeships and mentoring programmes. This helps them to gain employment when they graduate and also helps them to become a vibrant part of the self-reliant community. Our drama and arts therapy programmes support children in overcoming war-invoked trauma and basic health and sanitation. WCC combast the frwoing child mortality rate and promotes vital HIV/AIDS prevention through playing activities and fun games.

WCC willl continue to raise funds for a permanent residence that is required to sustain a foundational and positive environment for the development of our students. The need to secure the future of the school for the benefit of the community is vital. Losing funds on paying rent does not provide investment opportunities to develop the school properly, and this is the reason for seeking a permanent residence. We intend to expand to an additional 100 students, and the growth of the physical site is of the upmost importance.
