Hello Karen,

We learned at a young age from Dr. Suess and Aesop that even the smallest acts of kindness make a difference.   We appreciate every penny, pen, pencil, book and notebook donated to Develop Africa and your contribution is making a difference and an impact.

Jared is a young man who wanted to make a difference.  He started Jared's pencils at Jared's Pencils for Africa site

 and is raising money and collecting school supplies.  

 

You too can collect supplies or donate money to one of the many projects at www.developafrica.org  Every bit helps.  Thank you for making difference!

Develop Africa has partnered with GreaterGood to support the Thinking Pink Breast Cancer Foundation. In December 2014, GreaterGood provided a generous grant to support breast cancer care.

Thinking Pink Breast Cancer Foundation was founded in 2008 by Mrs. Cremelda Parkinson Pratt in Freetown, Sierra Leone. Cancer awareness was next to non-existent in Sierra Leone before Thinking Pink was founded. The foundation is the only active organization in the country trying to bring breast cancer awareness and treatment to all Sierra Leoneans. Read more...

In the video below, Khadija, one of the beneficiaries of this partnership, shares her appreciation for this life-savingsupport from GreaterGood. The funds provided are covering her cancer treatment costs in Ghana.
