Mabinty & Aisha Love Their New Glasses

Thanks to your support we successfully raised $350. Aisha and Mabinty now have reading glasses. 

Both girls are so grateful to the donors that covered the cost of their eye exams and glasses.  They say that they enjoy going to school more - thanks to their new glasses; now they can see the blackboard clearly without squinting or straining their eyes.  

The Sisters are Doing Well in School

Thank you so much for helping to provide scholarships for three sisters who became orphans during the Ebola crisis. Thanks to your support, Fatmata, Hannah, and Flourence have received some of the funding they need to pay for their tuition, books, school supplies and related school expenses this year. We are so very grateful for your support that is getting these sisters closer to their dream jobs as adults.

2 Of The 16 Students Tested Positive For Malaria!

Thanks in part to your donations, we have proactively started testing children in Wellington, Sierra Leone for Malaria. 

Sixteen tests were provided by your contributions. Two of the 16 students tested positive for malaria!  We caught the illness at the very early stage.  Thankfully, we were able to treat them right away, preventing the full onset of malaria and illness.  This proactive action and instant remedy were possible because of YOUR support.

You are Helping Sorie Obtain A Teaching Degree

YOUR support helped Sorie further his education - giving him a new start and opportunity in life.

Sorie lives in a small village called Kamawoni. He wanted to continue his education by going to a teacher's college. He tells us a little about himself and expresses his gratitude below.

Thank you for helping Mabinty start her business

Thanks to your support this project has raised $570 since the last report. Through this support, we have expanded our provision of microfinance loans to additional deserving women like Mabinty.  

Mabinty has started her business - retailing assorted provisions/groceries.  She plans to use the proceeds to cover transportation, buy school supplies etc.

Winifred is Working on her Tailoring Skills - Thanks to YOU

hanks to your generous support, the Tailoring School has had a significant impact in the Wellington community. A number of the youths and school dropouts have learned how to sew.  Your support is making this possible.  There are 10 trainees currently. One of the current students is Winifred.

Thanks for Helping Marian Stay in School

Because of YOUR support girls like Marian are progressing with their education and staying in school. Marian (pictured) is planning to take the promotional National Primary School Exams this spring. Her father is currently unemployed and her mother is no longer doing her small business. 

They did not have the resources to cover the exam fees. The family was in a crisis and had nowhere else to appeal for help. She was the only pupil in her class yet to pay her school charges.

You Helped Ship 10 Drums of Supplies

Thanks to your generous support, we recently shipped 10 drums filled with school supplies and books to Sierra Leone.  These drums are already in a shipping container and should get there in the next month or so.

Thank you for helping us send these supplies to the children in Sierra Leone that desperately need them.  

These supplies will elevate the quality of education and learning in schools.  We are excited about this opportunity to invest the lives of kids in Sierra Leone.

Bed Nets Are Saving Lives! #EndMalaria

Every bed net that we are able to provide, thanks to your generous donations, is saving lives!

The bed nets we are distributing are effectively protecting families from Malaria while they sleep. We are specifically targeting communities and families in need - in particular families with young children.

We are Creating Lasting Change

Thank you so much for faithfully supporting this project over the past 7 years or so.  

Over the years, we have provided basic computer training to hundreds of girls at this school. This was possible because of YOUR faithful support.
