Your support provided a net for an old woman called Ena Marie. She tells us in this video in Limba (one of the local languages in Sierra Leone) how the net has helped her. Watch the video https://youtu.be/T0JnMOQ_umU.
Ena Marie says in the video:
Our trainees are steadily learning - thanks to YOUR support! Your gracious support is helping to provide the supplies that they need. Your support is also helping to pay instructors' salaries. You are helping to make a huge difference in their lives.
Congratulations! We have together helped to provide training for girls since November 2011. This means 4 different set of graduates have benefited from this technology initiative.
The girls have learned a variety of tasks including the following:
According to theguardian - "...an estimated 58 million of primary aged children are still out of school, 31 million of them girls, the majority living in sub-Saharan Africa.

On Wednesday March 9th, 2016, there were 87 children present for the After School Lesson Program - supported through YOUR donations. While this was a good number of kids, this number is considered low attendance.
The current drop in attendance is due to the fact that schools are in an examination season. Many kids are home preparing for their exams. The current exams are to mark the end of first term in this 2 term academic year. We are expecting to have a surge in attendance when schools reopen in April for the last semester in the 2016 school year.
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.
