WE PLACED CHILDREN AT THE CENTER OF OUR WORK TO ENSURE OUR PROGRAMS ARE RELEVANT, SCALABLE AND SUSTAINABLE WHERE THE BENEFITS ARE REACHING CHILDREN IN NEED. WE HAVE VALUE FOR MONEY AND ENSURES THE HIGHEST FORM OF ACCOUNTABILITY.
EVERY CHILD A DREAM PROJECT
In 2019, we partnered with Hope Children's Foundation Sierra Leone to change the lives of 50 underprivileged children at our library and resource centre, Jui. The project focused on enabling children explore their talents and abilities through participating in reading, practical arts and learning new skills. At the end of their talent exhibitions, pupils from three primary schools won worthy prizes of school learning materials, bag packs and certificates.
