Where children lack access to education, this results in poverty, violence, abuse, exploitation, leadership void and other undesirable results. This project provides support to families and schools in Sierra Leone for the education of its children and youth. It strategically targets areas that need support including scholarships, school and teaching supplies, and leadership training. Investing in education yields tremendous benefits at many levels and spheres.
According to the United Nations, 42% of African school children will drop out before the end of primary education. Many schools lack the fundamental resources essential for a quality education. Unfortunately, gaining a proper education is challenging for impoverished or underprivileged families in Africa. There is an urgent need to help provide quality education in concert with the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
This project provides scholarships, teaching and school supplies, workshops and personal development resources. By doing so, we help reduce illiteracy and school dropout rates. These interventions address the failure points and weak areas that need boosting. Providing quality education to children reflects the fact that every child is entitled to fundamental human rights and is to be treated with dignity. Education is a sustainable means to alleviate poverty and bring lasting change.
The project is an effective long-term investment that will help provide quality educational opportunities for more youths and young adults so that they can rise above poverty and become better decision makers. The principal economic advantage of this education project is that it will produce people who are capable of making a greater contribution to the national economy. These future leaders' incremental earnings represent the added social output generated by investment in their education.
