How Do You Study at Night?

How do you study at night?  That's probably a silly question, you turn on your light...right? Well in Sierra Leone it is not that easy,  only about 20%  have access to electricity.  BUT, thanks to your generosity we are working on bringing solar light to students in Sierra Leone, like Calvin pictured above.  Solar lights give Calvin and other students the ability to study at night even though they don't have electricity.

Your donation to solar lights is literally lighting the way for future leaders in Sierra Leone.  You may be lighting the way for a future doctor or scientist or teacher or engineer.  We are so thankful for your support; we don't want anything like not having access to electricity standing in the way of our future leaders getting the education they need.

We would love to hear about what makes you passionate about bringing solar lights to students in Sierra Leone.  If you have questions or suggestions, we would love to hear about that too,  please email us at  GlobalGiving@developafrica.org with any comments, questions or suggestions you have.

Thank you for being a part of our family that is making an impact in Sierra Leone's future leaders.  We would be honored if you would share this project with your friends and family.  Let them know a one time gift will bring light to a student with no electricity and that a monthly gift will impact a new family each time.  Even a few dollars a month will go a long way.  Together we are changing lives, nations, and destinies.

On November 20th, this movement placed over 100,000 pencils into the hands 

of children across Sierra Leone in 20 schools.

Each pencil tells a story — of hope, opportunity, and possibility. 

Education is more than lessons — it’s liberation.

Every $25 helps children write their dreams.
