141 Students in Sierra Leone Getting Ready for School

School is just around the corner.  The Develop Africa Sierra Leone (DASL) team is packing 141 backpacks full of school supplies including- notebooks, erasers, pencils, crayons, rulers, pencil sharpeners, pens, and calculators.

The 141 backpacks will be distributed to students from Nursery School through Secondary School in Bo, Kamawornie, Freetown, and Makeni.  Distributions to multiple schools and students will take place over the next few weeks as students get ready to go back to school in September. In addition to school supplies, each of the 141 students will receive tuition support to pay for school. 

Each step of the process of getting school supplies donated, shipped to Sierra Leone, and then distributed to students is only possible because of generous donors like you!  We would greatly appreciate you making a donation to help us reach our goal of $14,164 so that all 141 students get their school supplies and tuition support in September. The average cost per student is $104.00  Donate here

Families in Sierra Leone face unprecedented challenges due to rising costs. Inflation makes it difficult for them to afford basic food staples such as rice, cooking oil, and onions.

Extending a helping hand can alleviate a significant burden and provide essential relief to the less fortunate.

Give the Gift of Joy This New Year 🎁


You can light up a child's life in Africa this holiday season. Imagine the joy of a young girl opening her very first book or a boy receiving a backpack filled with school supplies to fuel his dreams. For many children, a holiday gift isn't just a moment of happiness – it’s a message of hope, love, and possibility.

At Develop Africa, we believe every child deserves to feel special, especially during the holidays. But for too many children in underserved communities, the season comes and goes without even a small token of celebration. With your help, we can change that.

A donation of just $25 can provide a meaningful gift – a backpack, school supplies, or even a toy – to a needy child. Your generosity will show them that someone far away cares deeply about their future and happiness.

Make this holiday season unforgettable for a child. Please donate now to our Holiday Gift for a Child campaign and be part of a life-changing moment. Together, we can spread joy, ignite hope, and make the holidays magical for children in Africa.
