What We Do
We help the children of Sierra Leone through the process of education, allowing them the opportunity to make choices for their future.
We are a small charity that are hugely passionate about our cause, making a difference to the lives of the children and the community.
So far we have:
Built a school in 2008 that taught 100 children.
Built a stand alone secondary school in 2019 to teach a combined intake of near to 500 children.
Managed a costed expansion to our school 3 times to teach up to 300 children by 2016
Extended our secondary school in 2021 and now teaching 653 children across 2 centres – employing 30 staff across teaching, teacher assistants, nurses and ancillary workers
Of the 400 primary school students in the last 12 years to have taken the national primary school exam up to 2021 we have a 399 pass rate – we believe this is unmatched nationally, especially when there is no precondition to register children without selection
We registered our whole cohort in 2019 and 2020 for the national Junior Secondary school exam (JSS – our GCSE equivalent) and achieved 100% pass rate and were the top school in the Southern District (population of some 1.25 million)
We need to raise more funds:
To cover the annual running costs of our expanding teaching and support staff plus school maintenance and teaching aids
Substantial donations will help us build new school facilities to educate senior secondary school students – this development will be based on the same proven structured expansion proven above.
