EDUCATE A GIRL, EDUCATE A NATION

Educate a girl educate a nation

October 11 is the International Day of the Girl Child. It's a UN day - dedicated  “ to help galvanize worldwide enthusiasm for goals to better girls’ lives, providing an opportunity for them to show leadership and reach their full potential .”

For $120 you can cover a girl's tuition for school for a year

According to UNICEF 2016 statistics, among youths 15-24 yrs in Sierra Leone, from 2009-2014, the literacy rate for males is 73% and that of girls is 56%. A preference for boys' education remains dominant in many family / community circles - with boys getting priority access to limited opportunities. This mindset has impeded the progress and development of girls .

Girls who are encouraged to continue their education have the life skills and mindset needed for success and continual progress. At-risk girls are maturing into well-educated, emancipated, gainfully employed and self-sufficient women.

These empowered women are the pillars of their families, communities and the nation. When the mother of the home is educated, the health, well-being and success of the entire family is propelled forward and transformed. Educated girls educate the entire nation .
 
Today, we invite you to send a girl to school for 1 year . You will receive a thank you letter and photo from the girl receiving your support.

Thanks so much for helping to give girls an opportunity to reach their full potential.

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.
