Sierra Leone
Sierra Leone emerged from eleven years of war which severely devastated the country’s educational system. 1,270 schools were destroyed. Qualified teachers fled. Children were forced out of school. Because of this, literacy rates fell. Only about 52% of youths are literate. In most areas of the country, books are rare and teachers don't have access to the training they need.
Sierra Leone recognizes the critical role of education in helping citizens develop democratic and transparent government.
We build schools
We believe that the children in Sierra Leone have unique God-given gifts and a desire to go to school. If we equip them with a quality education and a network of support, they will achieve things for their community and country.
But that takes a group of people committed to their success. Want to join?
