Unimaginable setback

Elementary school destroyed

To our great regret, we faced malpractice in February 2021 to the detriment of our school project in 6 Miles, Waterloo, Sierra Leone. The secondary school built in partnership with Edukado in 2017 and ancillary facilities on the school grounds that had been added and equipped with solar panels over the past few years would, with any luck, be ready to open its doors to first secondary students in September 2021. Unfortunately, the entire site was torn down, despite all our efforts to stop it.
