We’re expanding education in Sierra Leone – one school, one teacher, one child at a time.
Education Access
The first step to expanding education is making sure there is a school to attend.
Education Quality
Only well-prepared teachers can provide quality instruction.
Education Equity
Girls must have the healthcare resources they need to stay in school.
You have the power to transform a community. Join hands with us to ensure that good education is a normal part of every child’s life in Sierra Leone.
How We Work
Projects must be requested by Sierra Leoneans in rural villages that are highly motivated to educate their children.
Our local partners select from the project requests and present to Schools for Salone board; board approves projects.
Schools for Salone provides operational guidance and financial resources.
The projects are implemented by our dedicated partners in Sierra Leone who believe in community-initiated solutions, and who have a proven success record.
