Tree Planting Update- March 2020

Tree Planting Update- March 2020

Your ongoing support is helping reverse deforestation in Freetown, Sierra Leone.  The photo below was taken just this morning on Bathurst Highway.  The photo here was taken in June of 2018 when the seedlings were planted. 

Based on the two photos you can see the great improvement in the growth of the trees. 

By restoring vegetation and trees, we are helping to combat global warming and helping to reduce runoff water from the hills. The trees will help to reduce landslides and rockslides that have resulted in the loss of life. Reforestation is essential for the overall health and quality of life in the community.

Your support is much appreciated as we continue to follow the steps recommended by the local Environmental Protection Agency for reforestation. Going forward, we are looking at the possibility of starting a new tree planting project somewhere along the peninsular highway.   We encourage you to consider starting a monthly recurring donation here to help continue this reforestation project.  Even a few dollars a month will go a long way.  Please also share this with your contacts and invite them to consider supporting this ongoing project.   

 

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 New Year 🎁


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.
