Your support is truly appreciated as every dollar you donate is helping more students at the Kissinger School in Ghana receive backpacks filled with school supplies.  Not only will students not have to carry their heavy books on their head, but they will also have the school supplies they need such as pencils, pens, notebooks, and crayons.

We greatly appreciate your support for future Sierra Leone leader, Melrose.  Your support is helping cover her expenses for computer classes.   Melrose was very thankful for the support she received as she continues to get her education.  She expresses her gratitude in this video saying- 

Your continued support of students in Cameroon is greatly appreciated. Collette Bekaku, Founder/Executive Director CAPEC Cameroon sent the below update.

Dear Friends/supporters/partners,

First, I want to thank you all for your continuous support for our education programs. We are indebted to you.

With the education material donated by Develop Africa Inc and GlobalGiving donors, nearly all of our students/pupils went home with school supplies by the end of the school year.

Your on-going support is greatly appreciated and continues to bring support 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.   Your support helped 35 students receive six months of computer training including Microsoft Office- Word, Excel, Publisher, and PowerPoint. Proficiency in computers is necessary for success in today's technology-driven society and the 35 students that received computer training are very thankful to YOU.

Your ongoing support has helped multiple vocational trainees at the Baptist Vocational Training Center. On Friday, June 7, 2019, Sylvester Renner, President of Develop Africa, visited the Baptist Vocational Training Center. 

Sylvester was warmly received by the trainees. When speaking to the trainees, he encouraged them to do their best to develop their skills as this was a path toward self-sufficiency.  A short video from Sylvester’s visit can be seen here.   

Your generous support is greatly appreciated as small businesses continue to receive microfinance loans to help start or grow their businesses.   During his June 2019 visit to Sierra Leone, Sylvester had the opportunity to meet with Sahr, a talented artist in Sierra Leone.  Sylvester provided Sahr with a range of art supplies as shown in the photo.  Sahr is very thankful for the support he has received as he expresses in this video.

Your support has made a lasting impact on Sara's life.  She became pregnant during the Ebola crisis and had to drop out of school, but because of generous donors like YOU, she was able to continue her education and is now in her last year of studying business management!   She tells us about her journey with Develop Africa in this video-

In June 2019, Sylvester Renner, President of Develop Africa, had the opportunity to visit the Success Tall Academy Nursery and Preparatory School in Freetown, Sierra Leone. The school is located at the Western part of Freetown, off Old School, Hill Station - Hill Top.  The community is a deprived one. The school was opened to help in nation-building by providing a learning environment for deprived kids.  

Students and teachers are looking forward to a new school year.  Students are excited to play and learn with their friends.  These students would not be able to go to school without your continued support. Most of these children live in extreme poverty making school impossible without help from generous supporters like YOU!

Your continued support is greatly appreciated as students continue to get computer training. One of the recent graduates, Mary, tells us how much the computer training she has received means to her
