Gifts of Learning: How Your Support Brings Smiles and Supplies to Sierra Leone’s Children

This photo features a joyful group of children at the R.E.C. School on Banana Island (October 2024) proudly holding school supplies, including notebooks, colored pencils, and other learning materials. They stand with big smiles, expressing their gratitude with a handmade sign that reads, “Thank You Develop Africa.”  

The children's yellow uniforms and excited expressions capture the impact of the support they've received, showing how much these resources mean to them. This heartfelt moment highlights the importance of educational support and the joy it brings to students in underserved communities.

We hope this photo makes you smile as you helped make this possible.  You can see more photos from the distribution in this album.

Thanks in part to your support, we partner with and support many schools each year, such as The R.E.C. School on Banana Island. 


 



The chairman expressed his heartfelt thanks to Develop Africa donors who have supported the school’s initiatives through the provision of books and school supplies. By investing in children’s education, we are joining the school in creating a legacy of knowledge and empowerment that will impact generations.  We foster a learning environment where children feel valued and motivated to succeed.

Under the guidance and vision of its chairman, this school has become a symbol of progress and community-driven education. Education is the foundation of any thriving community, and R.E.C School stands as a testament to the power of commitment and collaboration.
