Several months ago, 103 solar books were distributed to students in Sierra Leone. The solar books had been provided by a remarkable young lady named Cassidy who explained that she was passionate about helping to provide solar lights to kids in Africa. She had heard about and researched the situation in Africa - where many kids in Africa struggled to study at night, in the dark. 

Your ongoing support is greatly appreciated and is helping girls get their education at the FAWE Girls School. This school year FAWE has 40 girls (ages 8-11 years) from classes 4,5 and 6 taking computer classes. These girls are excited and eager to learn and are thankful for the opportunity. 

We greatly appreciate your support for future Sierra Leone leader, Stacy.  Your support helped cover her school-related expenses including- uniforms, books, school supplies, school fees, and related costs. Funds also helped cover school lunch, transportation costs to school - bus fare. Stacy is very thankful for the support she received to continue her education.

We greatly appreciate your continued support that is making a difference for students in Cameroon at the Bitame Lucia International School (BLIS). Thanks to your ongoing support several classes got to enjoy field trips these past few weeks.  

The class 3 pupils got to visit ECO PARK Yaounde where they had a tour in the zoo section of the Park and learn about various species of animals and they had the opportunity to feed the fish and also enjoy a horse ride around the park. They also learned about other services offered by the Park. 

Thank you for your continued support that is making an impact for Autism therapy in Senegal.  Below is a field update from the Dakar Team. 

Your on-going support is greatly appreciated and continues to bring hope and normalcy 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, including the Dumbuya family who lost everything in the flood.  

Your support is helping underprivileged children in Liberia stay in school, effectively learn, and get a decent education. By upgrading the quality of education offered in schools, we are helping to transform communities and the entire nation. Investing in children's education is critical for a nation's development.

One of the students your support is helping in Liberia is Alex, pictured here. Alex is only four, but he already loves going to school and enjoys writing and spelling. He also enjoys playing football and he helps his mom wash dishes.

Your ongoing support is greatly appreciated as it continues to make an impact on the students at Success Tall Academy.  Thanks in part to support from GlobalGiving donors backpacks were distributed to twenty students attending the Success Tall Academy Primary School on November 20, 2019.  Each student received one backpack containing- seven exercise books, one packet colored pencils, five pens, one ruler, one packet sharpeners and two erasers.

Meet Balusa. Balusa lives in Kamawornie - a village is located at Sella Limba Chiefdom, Bombali District, Northern Province.

In the included photo you can see her proudly showing us her new D-light solar light.

Kamawornie is a remote village and unfortunately has no access to electricity.

Your support has made a lasting impact on Mbalu's life. We are excited to share her success story with you.   She tells us in her own words how much your support has helped her saying-

Education is the only way out of poverty for people like us coming from low-income backgrounds.
