Sending School Supplies to Support Education - Sierra Leone

Last Monday, May 21, Develop Africa shipped out from Tennessee to Sierra Leone 21 drums, stuffed full, with a wide range of school supplies. This shipment is part of Develop Africa’s on-going commitment to supporting the education of children in Africa. These supplies will enable and reinforce learning. They will be distributed free to kids and schools in Sierra Leone. The supplies were donated by a wide range of individuals, groups, schools, organizations, and companies globally – sent to Develop Africa’s office in Tennessee. We are deeply grateful for all the supply donations that made this possible. Special thanks also go to the team that helped make this shipment possible - including Amy, Cris, Sylvester, Victor, and Yemi.   More pictures can be seen in the full album.

Buckets of school supplies

We warmly welcome new and gently-used supplies throughout the year. More details about supply donations can be found here.

We also welcome financial donations towards covering the shipping costs (over $4000) – from Tennessee to New Jersey and from New Jersey to Sierra Leone.  Donate here.

Make a Difference Today: Donate to the Year of the Pencil Campaign

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.
