Thanks to your generous support, Sahr, a talented artist in Freetown, received high-quality paint supplies that are difficult to find or purchase in Sierra Leone. Sahr is full of potential and loves to create artwork on canvas, and your donation of quality supplies has enabled him to continue pursuing his passion for painting.
Sahr was thrilled to receive the supplies and expressed his heartfelt gratitude for the opportunity to create his increasingly popular artwork. CNN recently spoke to Sahr in an interview, highlighting his efforts to change the negative narrative of pursuing an art career in Sierra Leone. You can watch the interview here
Your support has made a significant impact in Sahr's life and we invite you to continue your support by signing up for a monthly recurring donation. Even a few dollars a month will go a long way in supporting individuals like Sahr in their businesses and passions.

As we celebrate International Women's Day, we reflect on some of the girls and women who have been empowered by your generous support with computer training, vocational training, and microfinance loans for small businesses in Sierra Leone.
Hi, I’m Theresa Harding, Programs Coordinator, at Develop Africa Sierra Leone. Since inception, we’ve provided educational scholarships, girls' mentoring platforms, vocational training opportunities, and interest-free microfinance to vulnerable women in deprived communities in Sierra Leone. We are happy to join the world, to celebrate International Women's Day. In that regard, we want to share with you, stories from our beneficiaries.
We are Develop Africa girls, as we celebrate International Women's day today, we want to say a happy International Women’s day to all the women in the World.
My name is Isha. I want to say thank you to Develop Africa donors for giving me the opportunity to learn how to use a computer.
Hello, my name is Agnes; I am part of Develop Africa and I am also part of the vocational institute training center. I can now sew my dress and I have my equipment with me. Thanks very much for your support.
Hello! My name is Olivette. I thank God for Develop Africa, especially the microfinance loans. I want to thank all those who have been contributing to this organization to ensure that we have microfinance loans. The microfinance loan has indeed been a source of blessing to us.
Hello, my name is Haja, a beneficiary of Develop Africa. As we celebrate this year’s International Women’s day, I want to say a very big "thank you" to Develop Africa, and to my mom for giving me the opportunity to go to school.
