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.

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. 

Dear followers, 

Your support for the Kissinger School in Ghana is greatly appreciated.  The students at the Kissinger School are very thankful for the school books that they received in addition to pens, pencils and exercise books.  

The Kissinger School staff expressed again how grateful they would be for additional and recurring support so that they can provide healthy meals, transportation, school supplies, and other needed school support to more of the students at the Kissinger School. 

We greatly appreciate your support for future Sierra Leone leader, Reginald.  Your support helped cover some of his school-related expenses as he prepares to start his Information Technology courses.   Reginald was very thankful for the support he received as he continues to work toward his goal of becoming an IT Certified professional. 

Here's a heart-warming story from Blessing. Support was provided in conjunction with S.M.I.L.E.  

In her own words...

I know the value of getting an education and the benefits it has in giving more opportunities for people like me from low-income backgrounds. 

After graduating from high school, I didn’t bother sitting for the university entrance examination offered by JAMB because it was glaring my family can’t afford any fees and I’ve just been lucky to get a secondary school education provided freely by the government. 

Your continued support of students in Cameroon is greatly appreciated. Collette Bekaku, Founder/Executive Director CAPEC Cameroon partnered with her church, the United Methodist Women Association Cameroon – UMWAC and Develop Africa to create a project called “One child, one pencil” to collect and ship school supplies to students in Cameroon. 

We greatly appreciate your on-going support that continues to bring hope 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.   The Dumbuya family lost everything including their youngest daughter in the flood disaster.    

With your support, we provided the Dumbuya family with a new, safe home and items to go in their home including a wide range of food, cooking items, clothing, school supplies, and scholarships.
