How You can Support Us:

You can cover the entire costs of a girl’s education at the school, helping her to ensure a brighter future.

We have worked with the local community of Swawou in Kenema, Sierra Leone since 2008 and have found that poverty remains the number one barrier to girls receiving a primary education. Our core mission therefore to remove this barrier by providing an entirely free education in a safe and nurturing learning environment.

GIVE A GIRL A ‘BACK TO SCHOOL KIT’ / £40

You can provide a pupil with two school uniforms, text books and stationery for one school year.

Many families are still unable to afford the costs of uniforms, text books and stationary. This provides a very real barrier to sending their daughters to school. By giving one of our pupils a ‘back to school kit,’ you will be helping to ensure that the girls of Swawou have the resources and materials they need to return to school.

BECOME A LUNCH
CLUB SUPPORTER / £6 a month

You can provide a hot nutritious lunch to a pupil at Swawou.
School lunches not only aid the concentration and performance of the girls, but also provide a strong incentive for parents and guardians to send their daughters to school and keep them there. So play your part in keeping our girls happy and healthy by becoming a supporter of our lunch programme.
