Dear project supporters,
Success Tall Academy in Sierra Leone was delighted to receive school supplies thanks to your generous support. The students at Success Tall Academy were delighted to receive book bags school supplies.
The school expressed their gratitude in the letter below saying
Our aim is to help in nation building by creating a very good learning environment for deprived kids. In seeing that this goal be met, we are grateful to Develop Africa Sierra Leone and GlobalGiving for their relentless support to see that the above be achieved by providing the school and the kids with learning materials needed to enhance learning. The learning materials provided over the years and recently were given to the kids and some were used to form the school library. We are very excited to know that organization as such that desires to give the best in quality education like Develop Africa exists. Most of these kids normally used plastic bags to come to school, but after you provided them with the bags and other school-related materials they were encouraged and they are excited using the school materials provided.
We want to say a big THANK YOU to the management and staff of Develop Sierra Leone and we look forward to a lasting partnership.
The school supplies the students received will enhance the classroom-learning environment and empower learning. Your support has truly made a difference for the Success Tall Academy. We welcome your ongoing support as we continue to provide children in Sierra Leone with the resources they need to be the Future Leaders of Sierra Leone.
We encourage you to start a monthly recurring donation here. Even a few dollars a month will go a long way. Please also share this with your contacts and invite them to consider supporting this ongoing project.

Dear project supporters,
As part of our goal to help develop the next generation of leaders, we recently helped sponsor a leadership training event thanks in part to your generous donations.
TEDxYouth@KingTom took place in Freetown, Sierra Leone on July 28, 2018. It was the first TEDx event specifically dedicated to youths in Sierra Leone. The goals of the event included fostering critical thinking, showcasing talents, and reflecting ideas that will empower young people in Sierra Leone and spur them to action. The full-day conference featured authentic and inspiring talks from 13 movers and shakers in Sierra Leone, an Art Exhibition & Musical performances from young artists, 'Networking & Activities' fair, and an innovation corner.
Through your support, we provided funds to assist with souvenirs, logistics, planning, and supplies. Develop Africa was listed as one of the sponsors.
The conference was a great success as you can see from the photos and the Twitter Feed. One participant aptly summed it up as follows:
"It was such a thrilling experience! While each speaker was unique, they all said just the right thing to motivate us to do more... to do better... if not for ourselves, for the next generation. Each talk carried its own distinct message but all together honing the fact that the future of Sierra Leone lies in our hands and we can either make it worse or make it better."
Thank you for helping to foster change. We are deeply appreciative of your on-going support- you are truly helping the future leaders of Sierra Leone. We encourage you to start a monthly recurring donation here. Even a few dollars a month will go a long way. Please also share this with your contacts and invite them to consider supporting this ongoing project.

Thanks to your support students like Ibrahim and Esther are going to be able to go to school this year.

Esther will be going into class 5 or 5th grade this year and enjoys physical health education. She hopes to be a medical doctor when she grows up.

Dear Project Supporters,
Thank for your continued support that is enabling students, like Christiana, to complete their education. Christiana received a scholarship for her final year of Senior Secondary School. Her next step will be to work toward becoming a banker, her desired future profession.
Please watch this video of appreciation from Christiana. In the video she says:
I am Christiana, a beneficiary of the Develop Africa Sponsorship. I would like to say a very big thank you for your unreserved support towards my academics all through this year. Thank you so very much, Blessings.
Your support has made an impact on multiple schools and many children's lives, like Christiana. Many of the students would be unable to attend school without the scholarships that you help provide. We are greatly appreciative of your support that is helping prepare them for a brighter future.
With great appreciation,
The Develop Africa Team
