Sierra Leone: Helping the Children

In Sierra Leone, not all the children get the privilege of going to school, and of those who are lucky to go, many reach the school without shoes, clean uniforms, and lack school supplies. Without the necessary school supplies, bright young minds lack the quality of education that they need to thrive academically. Too many young people with high potential turn to destructive rather than constructive paths for themselves and their community.

Together with the partners of the 2nd edition of our “PENCILS FOR AFRICA” campaign – CZADowy Ekonom and  Make Our Leaders Foundation – we reached hundreds of generous-hearted individuals. Students from dozens of Polish schools, preschool children, and university students demonstrated dedication and empathy towards their peers in Sierra Leone. Collected during the campaign, 2.8 tons of school supplies and furniture, clothing, and toys were shipped in a container to Sierra Leone and distributed in schools in Freetown, Lunsar, the Kambia district, and the Bololo community.
