School tables and chairs to aid in learning and academic performance

School tables and chairs to aid in learning and academic performance

In July, Sevier County schools in Tennessee donated nearly 700 desks to benefit students in Sierra Leone.  News coverage can be watched at https://www.wvlt.tv/2022/07/11/sevier-county-schools-donating-desks-africa/

These school tables and chairs will aid learning and enhance classroom academic performance. Your support helped cover some of the shipping costs to get the nearly 700 desks and chairs from Tennessee to Freetown.

The desks and chairs arrived in Freetown in October. As of November 1st, the Develop Africa Sierra Leone team has distributed 510 tables and chairs to 10 schools throughout Sierra Leone. Locations included Kamakwie, Kamawornie, York, and Freetown. 

You can see photos of the distribution in Kamawornie and local news coverage at https://youtu.be/q0gfOxWmrnM

These school tables and chairs will aid learning and enhance classroom academic performance.  We are very thankful to Sevier County Schools and to the donors who helped with some of the shipping costs.

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.
