đź“š Mentoring Students and Providing Reading Materials đź“š.

The Sierra Leone Educators Association is making a lasting difference in remote communities through two key initiatives: student mentoring and access to reading materials.

Through our mentoring program, SLEA volunteers work directly with students in remote schools, leading one-on-one and small-group reading sessions. These relationships go beyond simply teaching children to sound out words—they build confidence, spark curiosity, and foster a lifelong love of reading.

SLEA also addresses one of the biggest barriers to literacy in the region: access to books. Many schools have no libraries, and students lack textbooks to read. In response, SLEA distributes reading materials—including storybooks and flashcards—to partner schools. We are now looking for partners to help establish reading corners in remote schools, giving students consistent access to age-appropriate reading materials during and after school hours.

Our mentoring goes beyond the classroom too, incorporating play-based learning activities that make reading fun and engaging. Through games, storytelling, and interactive exercises, children learn while they play, turning reading into an enjoyable experience.

Together, these efforts are equipping classrooms, empowering students, and building a stronger culture of reading in communities that need it most.

Are you interested in learning how real-world research is conducted?

Acumen Haven is organizing an 8-week hands-on Research Training Program, beginning in the first week of October 2026.

🌧️ Topic: Waste-Induced Waterlogging Vulnerability

Poor waste management contributes to climate change through greenhouse gas emissions, while climate change can intensify rainfall and increase waterlogging risk. Waste dumped in streets and drains further worsens the problem by obstructing stormwater flow.

Through this practical program, research trainees will learn how to:

âś… Formulate research questions
âś… Write a research proposal
âś… Conduct a literature review
âś… Design a research methodology
âś… Collect and analyze field data
âś… Interpret findings and write a research report

Interested participants will also have the opportunity to join a publication track after completing the program.

📢 OPEN REQUEST FOR SPONSORSHIP / FUNDRAISING SUPPORT

Dear Humanitarians or Development Partners,

The Sierra Leone Educators Association is seeking support from any organization, NGO, corporate partner, or philanthropist interested in helping two partner primary schools in Bombali district, Sierra Leone:

• WCSL Primary School – Robert Village
• Royal Academy Primary School – Mabarie Village

Together, these two schools serve over 500 children and face severe infrastructure challenges. We are seeking support to:

1. Construct durable, locally made wooden benches: The few available benches are broken and unstable. Children push one another just to get access to a seat, and sometimes they end up fighting over seating. This disrupts learning and puts the children at risk.

2. Fix doors: Many classroom do not have doors, leaving children exposed and classrooms insecure.

3. Replace damaged zinc roofing sheets:
Several roofs are leaking, allowing rain to enter classrooms and disrupt lessons. Replacing the damaged zinc sheets will help keep the children dry and safe from the rains.

4. Plaster and paint classroom walls:
The walls are in poor condition. Plastering and painting them will create cleaner, brighter, and more welcoming learning spaces for the children.

Our goal is to create safer, drier, brighter, and more dignified learning environments so every child can sit, focus, and learn.

We invite interested organizations to partner with us through sponsorship, material support, connecting us with potential donors, or fundraising for us. Every contribution helps.

If you are unable to sponsor directly, you can also help by creating a fundraising page on our behalf.

If your organization is interested or would like more details, please contact:

Thank you for helping us give these children a safe and dignified place to learn.

Today, through our Green Schools Campaign, our learners at WCSL Primary School, Robert Village, led a clean-up exercise in the school compound after learning how to take care of the planet through the Good Choices Booklet. They worked to ensure all classrooms and the entire school compound are clean and safe for every child. We are not only teaching them how to take care of the planet—we are ensuring they put those lessons into practice at school. 🌱

The Sierra Leone Educators Association recently took part in a radio discussion on Hope FM 93.3 in Makeni. The topic focused on the Free Quality Education programme—what is working, the gaps still holding us back, and our recommendations to the Government and development partners.

Gaps We Identified:

* School subsidies are often paid late, making it difficult for schools to run smoothly.
* Teacher salaries remain too low, leaving many educators discouraged and undervalued.
* There are no real opportunities or incentives for teachers to stay in remote schools, so many rural children are left without qualified teachers.

Our Recommendations to Address These Gaps:
* On late payment of school subsidies: Government should ensure timely disbursement of subsidies so schools can plan and operate effectively.
* On low teacher salaries: Teacher salaries must be increased to a living wage that reflects their vital role in shaping the nation.
* On lack of opportunities in remote schools: Government and partners should create clear incentives—such as allowances, housing support, and career progression to attract and keep qualified teachers in rural communities.
* On exam malpractice: We stressed that none of these efforts will succeed if examination malpractices are allowed. If Sierra Leone is serious about quality education, we must not compromise on exam integrity, School feeding and Teachers welfare.

Our Intervention:
SLEA is not only speaking out. We are working on the ground with teachers, parents, Government institutions, and international organizations to transform education into quality learning for all. We are especially committed to supporting remote schools through teacher training, learning materials, and regular on-site support.

We remain fully committed to supporting schools in remote communities. We call on the Government, development partners, and all stakeholders to act with urgency. Together, we can close these gaps and give every child in Sierra Leone the education they deserve.

A hungry child cannot learn. It’s time to prioritize SDG 2: Zero Hunger in our classrooms.

Good nutrition is the foundation of quality education. By ensuring students have access to healthy meals, we unlock their ability to concentrate, perform better, and succeed.

We are calling on our community, leaders, and educators to unite and ensure no child has to learn on an empty stomach.

Every classroom should be a place of learning—not hunger.
