Baby Care Helps Moms Return to School

Many young women in Sierra Leone struggle to complete their education.  Pregnant young women have an even greater challenge.  But the greatest struggle is for the young mom  - who has no one to care for her young baby so that she can go to school.  Before your help, young moms either were unable to come to class or had to bring their babies with them.

Strengthening Education at the UMC School in Cabala Town, Sierra Leone

Thanks to your ongoing generosity students at an additional school are now using new books and supplies. These supplies are strengthening the educational foundation of kids at the UMC Calaba Town Nursery / Primary School. There are 160 pupils in the school, aged 3 - 16.  

The kids and teachers were delighted to receive the supplies.  Joyce Kosseh, the Head Teacher, sent a letter expressing her appreciation .  We are so excited about the opportunity that we have to help build a stronger generation of leaders in Sierra Leone. 

Our lights are making a practical difference and meeting several needs

Suad (pictured) was born in July 2008.  She is a pupil at the Vickrays Community Primary School.  She is in class three. Suad lives with her parents and two siblings in a two bedroom apartment with no electricity and water supply. 

Suad was delighted to receive one of the lights that your donations helped provide - as this is helping her study at night. Suad looks forward to using this safe and renewable light source for many years.
