We greatly appreciate your continued support that has given multiple youths and young adults the computer training they need to be successful in today’s world of technology.

They are acquiring the knowledge and ability to use computers and technology efficiently.  Possessing basic computer skills is a critical part of academic success.

We greatly appreciate your support that enables us to provide solar power and technology to students who had to rely on dangerous kerosene lamps previously to study at night.  Theresa is one of the students who has benefitted from her solar light.

Thanks to your support we were able to purchase a new sewing machine for the Tailoring School. Our tailoring program has taught over 150 individuals. The classes have grown large enough that there are no longer adequate machines for the tailoring trainees to use.  More machines are still needed, but the tailoring students are delighted with the new machine.  

This Child Sponsorship Update gives you a look into the relationship / communication between children and their sponsors.  

This is actual communication exchanged between a child to his sponsor.

Thanks to your ongoing support, more future leaders are ready to start the new school year.  
 
Because of YOUR donations, they have received school supplies and scholarships making the cost of education possible.   

Thank YOU for helping provide a partial scholarship for Christiana.  

Through your support, she has received funding to help pay for some of her tuition, books, school supplies and related school expenses. She is a step closer to becoming a Certified Accountant; her desired future profession.  

We are so very grateful for your support. In the below photo, Christiana is holding a "Thanks GlobalGiving" sign - acknowledging and appreciating the generous supporters through GlobalGiving..   

Holstina has a special relationship with her sponsor, Keri.  They talk about things they enjoy, careers and family.  Keri sent Holstina a Christmas present 

to make sure her holiday was extra special.   You can read in Holstina's letter how much she appreciates having Keri in her life.

Holstina says:

It's great to know that you have supported a good cause, but it is even more rewarding to hear from those that have benefited from your generous donations.  Microfinance loans give individuals a hand to get their businesses going or to help them grow their existing businesses.  Your generosity has enabled many different businesses; Mariatu is one of the people to recieve a microfinance loan.

Thank YOU for investing in this project and the education of girls.

Funds from your donations helped purchase 3000 cement blocks - shown in the included photo.  

When this is completed, we will be able to launch a poultry of over 1000 egg-laying hens. Funds from the sales of eggs will provide sustainable, ongoing supporting scholarships for girls like Edna.

Thanks to YOUR support, in June, we distributed school supplies to 36 girls at the FAWE school in Freetown.  Your donations made this possible and helped to cover shipping costs from USA to the school.

The girls were elated to receive the supplies and you can see the excitement and broad smiles on their faces in the photos. They send their deep appreciation to YOU for helping to get these supplies to them.
