Constructing WCC Academy

A decade of civil war, EBOLA, and mudslides destroyed much of Sierra Leone's infrastructure and education system. In 2014, at the request of community leaders, WCC hired out space in a community hall and employed several local volunteer graduates as teachers. WCC began to offer Primary and Secondary school education to 50 forgotten and abandoned local children who were orphaned and left destitute.

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. It will also help to empower and mobilize communities. You can make a difference in the lives of these marginalized children by donating to the cause.
