Sierra Leone is one of the world’s poorest countries. Many organisations there rely heavily on donations to keep up with today’s fast-evolving world.
Since 2023, we’ve been working with Save The Needy to bring modern technology to schools and non-profits across the country. Last year, we donated an additional 228 devices, including laptops, tablets, and phones, to support various schools and educational programmes in the Western Area Rural and Bo Districts.
“I was shocked schoolchildren in my country have no knowledge of computer studies. I started contacting my friends and donors to support our schools in Sierra Leone with computers and other educational materials.”
– Violet, Founder and Director of Save the Needy
25 devices were sent to Aion Health to support their EmpowerHER with Tech initiative, which provided 50 women with vital digital, entrepreneurial & project skills, helping to drive gender equality & economic growth in Sierra Leone.
Beyond this, our latest shipment enabled eight schools to introduce computer studies to their curriculum. This will have a significant impact on the lives of hundreds of students, helping them to develop the skills and knowledge needed to succeed in today’s connected world.
