At Develop Africa Sierra Leone (DASL), supporting a student means more than providing school fees and supplies. It means walking alongside that student and following their educational progress year after year.
One important part of this process is the annual collection and review of academic results.
Each year, before the new academic year begins, Develop Africa holds its annual scholarship distribution program, typically in August or September. As part of this process, beneficiaries are required to bring their most recent report cards to the DASL office.
Staff carefully collect the documents and keep track of which students have submitted their results. The report cards are then scanned and stored in the organization's digital records system, creating an ongoing academic record for each student.
The collection of report cards is an important part of preparing for the annual scholarship distribution.
Before students receive continued educational assistance, their academic information is reviewed, and their records are updated. This helps ensure that Develop Africa's support is based on current information about each student's education and progress.
The process also gives the DASL team an opportunity to connect with students and learn more about their experiences during the school year.
By collecting and reviewing these results every year, Develop Africa can remain connected to each student's educational journey and better understand how we can support them.
We are grateful to the donors who make this continued support possible and allow us to walk alongside students throughout their educational journeys.
With heartfelt gratitude,
Amy and the Develop Africa Team
