Initial Set Up Meeting for the Official Launching of Develop Africa's Microfinance Program

"Enabling the Power of Ideas and Entrepreneurial Energy Through Microfinance Development"

Today, microfinance plays a major role in the development of many African nations. Microfinance consists of making small loans, usually between $100 to $200, to individuals, usually talented youth and women entrepreneurs to establish or expand a small, self-sustaining business. In December 2008, Develop Africa's Director of Development and International Outreaches visited Sierra Leone for an initial set up meeting / launching of our Microfinance program.

Thank you donors for making this possible.

 

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.

Help provide relief by donating today!

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.
