Your support helped provide the children in Liberia with a new school building this past year and is continuing to help complete other needed updates at the new school.  Students were eager to start school again this fall in their new school.   They are enjoying going to school and playing on the school playground.

We are thankful for the support we received and were able to distribute solar lights to students. Hawa and Ketura pictured here are the two students that received solar lights thanks to your donations.

We greatly appreciate your support that helped a group of young ladies receive training on sexual health from a health worker. Many adolescent girls become pregnant because they lack the information needed to make informed decisions about their sexuality, family planning, and reproductive health and the training they received gave the young ladies the tools they need to make important and educated decisions. 

Today, Develop Africa announced the capability to accept cryptocurrency donations. You can now donate cryptocurrency to Develop Africa.

Thanks to your ongoing support we recently provided 30-bed nets to families in Sierra Leone that were directly impacted by the flood and mudslide disaster in 2017.   The long-lasting insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) they received are keeping the mosquitos away at night while they sleep.  The nets have been treated with safe, residual insecticide that blocks, kills and repels mosquitoes. Pictured here is Isata receiving her new bed net.  

We greatly appreciate your continued support of computer skills training in Sierra Leone.  One of the current students, Umu shows us how she has learned to use Microsoft Word in this video and tells us how the Computer Training Center has impacted her life:
