Many young women in Sierra Leone struggle to complete their education. Pregnant young women have an even greater challenge. But the greatest struggle is for the young mom - who has no one to care for her young baby so that she can go to school. Before your help, young moms either were unable to come to class or had to bring their babies with them.
Thanks to your ongoing generosity students at an additional school are now using new books and supplies. These supplies are strengthening the educational foundation of kids at the UMC Calaba Town Nursery / Primary School. There are 160 pupils in the school, aged 3 - 16.
The kids and teachers were delighted to receive the supplies. Joyce Kosseh, the Head Teacher, sent a letter expressing her appreciation . We are so excited about the opportunity that we have to help build a stronger generation of leaders in Sierra Leone.
Suad (pictured) was born in July 2008. She is a pupil at the Vickrays Community Primary School. She is in class three. Suad lives with her parents and two siblings in a two bedroom apartment with no electricity and water supply.
Suad was delighted to receive one of the lights that your donations helped provide - as this is helping her study at night. Suad looks forward to using this safe and renewable light source for many years.
On a regular basis, we take time to look back and look forward - to see how previous microfinance beneficiaries are doing and what we can learn from them / share with others.
When you hold 10 Euro or 10 dollars in your hand, you are holding 2 lives in your hand.
10 Euros or 10 dollars can save 2 lives - when it's used to help provide a life-saving mosquito net!
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.
