Through your ongoing support young ladies, like Samuella and Joy, are getting their education.  They tell us in this video what education means to them saying- 

Your continued support is greatly appreciated as the students in Freetown, Sierra Leone just started back to school this past month.    One of the students that directly benefited from your generous support is Nathaniel.   

Many children and youths in Sierra Leone have no access to computers or computer learning opportunities due to financial limitations. Your continued support is greatly appreciated as more students are able to get the computer training they need to be successful in today's technology-driven society.   You can see the full album of the current computer training students.

We are so thankful for your continued support that is helping future leaders have the ability to study at night.  Lack of electricity is a challenge for many communities across Sierra Leone and school students living in those communities find it very challenging to read their notes and do their assignments at night.  Thanks to your support these students are receiving solar-powered lights like Bintu who was delighted to receive a solar light.

In Sierra Leone, there is deforestation taking place across the country making the community prone to disasters.  Heavy rain has led to several unfortunate mudslides in the country.   

Your support helped ship much-needed supplies to future leaders in Freetown, Sierra Leone this past month.  Many families in Sierra Leone live far below the poverty line and sending children to school is very challenging.  By providing school books and school supplies to these families it reduces the school-related costs making school possible for the children in Sierra Leone.

We greatly appreciate your support for future Sierra Leone leader, Melrose.  Your support is helping cover her expenses for computer classes.   Melrose was very thankful for the support she received as she continues to get her education.  She expresses her gratitude in this video saying- 

Your on-going support is greatly appreciated and continues to bring support to flood victims in Freetown.   Many families in Sierra Leone were displaced due to the flooding and mudslide disaster that took place in August of 2017.   Your support helped 35 students receive six months of computer training including Microsoft Office- Word, Excel, Publisher, and PowerPoint. Proficiency in computers is necessary for success in today's technology-driven society and the 35 students that received computer training are very thankful to YOU.

Your ongoing support has helped multiple vocational trainees at the Baptist Vocational Training Center. On Friday, June 7, 2019, Sylvester Renner, President of Develop Africa, visited the Baptist Vocational Training Center. 

Sylvester was warmly received by the trainees. When speaking to the trainees, he encouraged them to do their best to develop their skills as this was a path toward self-sufficiency.  A short video from Sylvester’s visit can be seen here.   

Your generous support is greatly appreciated as small businesses continue to receive microfinance loans to help start or grow their businesses.   During his June 2019 visit to Sierra Leone, Sylvester had the opportunity to meet with Sahr, a talented artist in Sierra Leone.  Sylvester provided Sahr with a range of art supplies as shown in the photo.  Sahr is very thankful for the support he has received as he expresses in this video.
