Your Support Helps Girls Like Mariama

By Amy Baty-Herbert | Project Leader

Mariama is one of the students whose educational journey has been made possible through your support.

This fall, Mariama is excited to begin Senior Secondary School, an important milestone on her educational journey. She dreams of becoming a nurse, so she can care for others, improve the health of her community, and build a brighter future for herself and her family.

Your support helps provide girls like Mariama with school fees, uniforms, books, school supplies, mentoring, and the opportunity to stay in school and pursue their dreams. These investments don't just change one life—they strengthen families, communities, and future generations.

There are just a couple of hours left in GlobalGiving's July Bonus Day; it ends today at 10:00 a.m. EDT. Donations of $100 or more help unlock matching support from GlobalGiving's $150,000 matching contribution. Every gift helps us unlock additional funding to educate and empower girls in Sierra Leone.

Ongoing support makes all the difference. When generous donors continue to invest in girls' education year after year, students like Mariama can remain in school, overcome obstacles, and continue progressing toward the careers they dream of.

Thank you for believing in girls like Mariama and for helping create opportunities that will last a lifetime. Your generosity is opening doors, inspiring hope, and empowering the next generation of leaders.

With heartfelt gratitude,
Amy and the Develop Africa Team
