We asked for your support during the #LittlexLittle to help provide students in Freetown, Makeni & Bo with school supplies.

You responded.  You helped raise $549 (including GlobalGiving's matching funds). 

We are truly grateful to you. To each #LittlexLittle donor, we say a heartfelt "thank you!!"

LitllexLittle funds covered school supplies for 54 students, providing them with a book bag, notebooks, pens, pencils, crayons or markers, and other misc supplies (such as rulers and calculators).

Two students you helped are Alvin in the photo above and Ibrahim in the image below.  Alvin is attending the B.B. Warriton Preparatory School in class two. His favorite subject is spelling and handwriting.  He dreams of becoming a medical doctor when he grows up.   Ibrahim is in class 4, and his favorite subject is Mathematics. He hopes to become a professional driver when he grows up.

Your support is genuinely helping students in Sierra Leone get their education and empowering them with the necessary tools to become future leaders in their communities. If you haven't had the chance to sign up for a recurring donation yet, we warmly welcome your ongoing support for the future leaders of Sierra Leone.

Please share this project with your contacts and invite them to consider supporting this ongoing project. If you have any questions, please email us at GlobalGiving@developafrica.org.


Warmest regards,

Amy and the Develop Africa team

Franklyn talks about what he learned in a mentoring session on financial literacy.

Hello, my name is Franklyn, a beneficiary of Develop Africa. In today’s mentoring program organized by Develop Africa Sierra Leone, we learned about financial literacy.  We got to know about our needs as human beings and our wants, how to invest our money, what to keep as miscellaneous, and what to save in the bank. We also got to know the difference between assets and liabilities.  An asset is a thing that appreciates if we save them and liabilities are things that decrease in value and are not of use to us. Thank you.      

Thank you for your support that helps provide mentoring and educational support to future leaders in Sierra Leone. If you haven't had the chance to sign up for a recurring donation yet, we warmly welcome your ongoing support.

Please share this project with your contacts and invite them to consider supporting this ongoing project. 

From Sept. 18-22, we’re celebrating the power of the crowd! When you donate up to $50, GlobalGiving will match your generosity. Together, we can make a difference. 

If you have any questions, please feel free to email us at GlobalGiving@developafrica.org.

 

With great appreciation,

Little by little future leaders like Lamin are getting their education, thanks to donors like you.  Lamin is top of his class in Junior Secondary School (JSS). He loves to read and his favorite subjects are Mathematics and English. Lamin dreams of becoming a doctor when he grows up to save lives and help the people in his community. He was very thankful for the support he received for school this year.

You still have time to support educating future leaders and get matched at 50% when you give up to $50—but don’t delay, the Little by Little campaign ends at 11:59 pm EDT!

Our recurring donors are truly making a lasting difference for future leaders in Sierra Leone, like Lamin. If you haven't had the chance to sign up for a recurring donation yet, we warmly welcome your ongoing support to continue to provide children with the educational resources they need to be the future leaders of Sierra Leone.

Joy, Nchunmalen's mom

In preparation for the upcoming school year, students in Freetown are now receiving school supplies and school support thanks in part to the generosity of donors like you.

Nchunmalen's mom expressed her gratitude for the educational support that her daughter has been receiving each year in this video.

I want to thank God for Develop Africa, I have a daughter whom Develop Africa is supporting, her name is Nchunmalen. She joined the program when she was in Nursery Two and we thank God at this moment she is in SSS3 (Senior Secondary School year 3).

Develop Africa has taken care of her and mentored her in her school work and is also checking on her at home and talking to me as her parent.  I want to thank God for Develop Africa.  I want to thank God for the donors that are sponsoring our children outside this country. 

It is thanks to supporters like you, that  Nchunmalen has been able to receive educational support since nursery school. Every dollar donated provides educational support to future leaders in Sierra Leone! If you haven't had the chance to sign up for a recurring donation yet, we warmly welcome your ongoing support.

If you have any questions, please feel free to email us at GlobalGiving@developafrica.org.

Alusine at his new desk
Alusine at his new desk

Providing students with a conducive learning environment is essential, one improvement is to ensure that students have access to desks at home for doing homework and studying, rather than having to sit on the floor. Beyond the physical comfort, desks foster an environment conducive to learning, enhance concentration & focus, and have the potential to positively impact students' overall academic performance. Students who study at a desk are likely to absorb information more effectively and perform better on exams and assessments.

Thanks in part to your support, Alusine received a desk for studying and doing his homework. He expressed his appreciation in this video saying

Hello, my name is Alusine. I want to say a very big thank you to Develop Africa, for helping me get this study table and chair. This study table and chair has helped me improve in school. Thank you.
