Educating Girls Reduces Poverty

Oct 17th was the International Day of Eradication of Poverty and education is a proven way to alleviate poverty and bring lasting change.

"To Educate Girls is to Reduce Poverty"- Kofi Annan

One of the girls your support has recently helped is Milicent who recently received school supplies and tuition support for this school year. She is starting Senior Secondary School (SSS) this year which is equivalent to high school. Her favorite subject is English and she would like to become a nurse when she completes school.

She expressed her thanks in this video saying, "Good morning, everybody, my name is Milicent, one of the beneficiaries of this great organization. On behalf of me and my colleagues, I want to say thank you for everything you have done for us, to the donors outside this country I want to say thank you to them. To the organization, I appreciate them, and the staff of the organization I want to say thank you for supporting us. I want to say thank you for everything you have done for us. Thank you all."

Because of poverty, many African girls are unable to complete their education, but your support is helping change that. Thank you for helping to pave the way to a brighter and better future for young ladies in Sierra Leone through education. You are truly making a difference for girls with your generous support.

A monthly donation is the most effective way to help girls get their education. Every dollar donated makes a difference!

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 Holiday Season 🎁


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.
