On Wednesday March 9th, 2016, there were 87 children present for the After School Lesson Program - supported through YOUR donations. While this was a good number of kids, this number is considered low attendance.

The current drop in attendance is due to the fact that schools are in an examination season. Many kids are home preparing for their exams. The current exams are to mark the end of first term in this 2 term academic year. We are expecting to have a surge in attendance when schools reopen in April for the last semester in the 2016 school year.

In 2015, Develop Africa was in the top 20% ranking of partners on GlobalGiving in 2015.  We were an active, approved, top-ranked nonprofit in GlobalGiving's network in 2015.  

Special thanks to all staff and partners who helped make this happen.

We are deeply grateful for YOUR support as we realize the significance of what this batch of lights will be to the kids in Africa.

Kerosene lamps cause burns, fires, produce smoke and particulate into the air that can damage lungs and eyes. Thankfully, this damage will no longer occur in the lives of the kids that will receive the lights that YOU helped provide.
