Develop Africa's Impact

Since 2006, we at Develop Africa have been privileged to have the opportunity to empower and impact lives in Africa. Thanks to donors like you, we have made a difference in the lives of tens of thousands of beneficiaries in Africa.

We are strategically empowering lives in Africa by providing educational opportunities and strengthening self-reliance so that individuals, families, and communities can create positive change in their own lives.

Dreams should never be limited due to the inability to go to school. Education should never be impossible. Every child deserves to get an education.

We provide school supplies, scholarships, solar lights (so kids can study at night), mosquito nets (to keep children safe from malaria), computer/vocational training, etc. We additionally provide microfinance loans, orphan care, and disaster relief. This helps them become self-sufficient and rise above the poverty line. When individuals and families are strengthened, they can contribute towards community, national, and international progress.

We could not do this without the kind and generous support of donors like you.  You are the reason why we are able to do what we are doing.

Today, as the world reels and continues to recover from the Covid-19 pandemic, we need your help - now more than ever before.
 

Your CFC pledges are vitally important to us.  Through YOUR support, we will be able to continue to empower lives.  We could not do this without you.

When you give through the CFC Combined Federal Campaign - you will be making a HUGE difference!

       Education transforms lives and creates opportunities.

Joy's Story

Joy was born in August 2007 into a very poor home. She is an only child and she lost her father at a young age. She lives with her mom in a single room in the Regent community in Freetown, Sierra Leone. Access to clean water and electricity continues to be a challenge for her community.

Joy has been part of the Develop Africa sponsorship program for the past thirteen years. She is currently attending the Methodist Girls High School and she is about to start her second year of Senior Secondary School (SSS3). 

Joy’s mother became sick in the spring, which caused temporary paralysis. She is now able to talk and can stand, but is unable to walk making it impossible for her to work. Every morning Joy helps her mom before going to school, but her mom's illness has made her even more determined to complete her education.  She hopes to become a Medical Doctor so she can help the sick people in her community.

Develop Africa is confident that Joy will be a future medical thanks to her commitment and because generous donors like you are supporting Develop Africa's education program.

 

It's the possibility of having a dream come true that makes life interesting.-      Paulo Coelho
