Donate Clothing and Shoes for Children in Need
Develop Africa is dedicated to improving the lives of young individuals in Sierra Leone, and we gladly accept donations of new and gently used clothing and shoes to support this mission.
Please carefully note the following:
- International shipping is expensive
- We have established a process (linked below) for getting these items into the hands of families. We have done this successfully for years.
- There are shipping costs, and we need your help.
- This cost could exceed the cost of the actual items
- Simply donating the items is inadequate and insufficient.
Your donations are welcome if you cover the shipping costs and follow our instructions below. This varies depending on your location.
We understand this requires additional planning, and we want to express our sincere gratitude for your willingness to go the extra mile. Your generosity will make a world of difference!

Why Donate Clothes & Shoes?
1. **Enhancing Education:** Access to appropriate clothing and shoes plays a vital role in a child's ability to learn effectively in school. Ill-fitting or worn-out attire can be a significant distraction, hindering a child's concentration and comfort during lessons. By providing children with quality clothing and shoes, we empower them to fully engage in their education.
2. **Promoting Dignity and Confidence:** Having clean, well-fitting clothing and shoes not only enhances a child's learning experience but also promotes a sense of dignity and self-confidence. When children feel good about themselves, they are more likely to excel academically and socially, setting them on a path to a brighter future.
3. **Supporting Families:** Your donations do not only benefit the children but also their families. By alleviating the financial burden of purchasing new clothing and shoes, families can redirect their resources toward other essential needs, such as food and education.
