Join the Initiative of Building Five Schools in Five Years with Empower Salone.
Empower Salone believes that every child has the right to quality education, and we want to make this a reality for all.
Unfortunately, Sierra Leone's 11-year civil war has destroyed thousands of primary schools, and today, over half of school-aged children are out of school. Poverty and other challenges in rural areas have also made it difficult to improve literacy rates.
Our goal is to build new, well-equipped school facilities in five underprivileged communities in Sierra Leone's most rural district. With your support, we can construct beautiful schools that include washrooms, solar electricity, clean water, furniture, playgrounds, and sports fields for $50,000 each.
Our on-ground partner, Thaakat Foundation, will work with us to build one new school facility in each community every year to maximize the potential for growth and reduce healthcare and education inequalities in these areas. Additionally, Thaakat will launch new health facilities adjacent to our schools.
Together, we can inspire the complete transformation of almost half a dozen communities through quality education and healthcare in Sierra Leone.
