Mabinty is Thankful for her Microfinance Loan

Mabinty is Thankful for her Microfinance Loan

Your generous support is continuing to provide microfinance loans even during the COVID-19 pandemic. Your support is helping small businesses, like Mabinty's, during these challenging times.

Mabinty lives in the Lumley community in Freetown. She is the grandmother to sisters, Lucy and Elizabeth. Elizabeth and Lucy lost their mother three years ago and since then Mabinty has been the one taking care of them. Mabinty used her microfinance loan to make and sell Ogiri. Ogiri is one of the most common seasonings in Sierra Leone, used to flavor local foods. Since she received her Develop Africa Sierra Leone interest-free microfinance loan, she has been able to start and maintain her small business.

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.
