In Sierra Leone, 22% of school-age girls are out of school. Often due to financial barriers, early marriage and a lack of female role models, this limits their options and potential. Better access to schooling helps young girls learn crucial skills and gives them choices in life.

£30 has the ability to enable young girls, like those at this school in Bombali District, Sierra Leone, to receive an education and learn the vital skills of reading, writing and arithmetic – unlocking their full potential.
