Sierra Leone has suffered another setback in its economic recovery and human development. Mudslides due to heavy rains have claimed scores of lives and destroyed many properties in the capital city, Freetown. As a result, thousands have been displaced and homeless. Our thoughts and prayers are with the nation and our fellow world citizens. Currently, Education for Hope does not have the capacity to provide support to victims of natural disasters. Therefore, we are not accepting donations to support any efforts in regards to the flood. However, if you would like to support our programs, we welcome your donation. Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their families.

Kelly's Vocational School Project

04/07/2017
Kelly Vocational School
The Kelly Rural Vocational Agricultural Secondary School in Hastings, Sierra Leone approached Education for Hope for assistance to build a fence around the school perimeter to prevent burglary and vandalism of its properties and assets. The school toilet facility is being used by unwelcome guests and people from the neighboring communities, leaving it filthy and destroying its components. Over the years, the school has faced multiple break-ins, resulting in property damage and loss of valuable educational resources.

Three Communities School Progress!

01/17/2017
The Three Communities Primary School

Three years ago, we were approached by three communities in the Port Loko District, Sierra Leone, for assistance to build a primary school for their communities, because they had none and their children had to walk many miles to attend the nearest school. The children that were not strong enough to embark on the treacherous journey to the nearest school simply did not attend, which left approximately 150 children without access to education.
