Sherbro Foundation

Biography

We are committed to helping the people of Sierra Leone develop education in rural communities after their 11-year civil war.  We focus on sending girls to secondary education and helping adults achieve literacy. We are introducing computer literacy to foster job skill and business development, and to promote new sources of information access for the whole community.

In an area still dominated by subsistence agriculture, we provide seed money to help rural people turn agriculture projects and other economic opportunities into thriving small businesses that become self sufficient and create sustainable local jobs.

The annual trivia competition is great fun and embraces everyone present in the energy of the room. We all learned a lot, shared many laughs, with moments of triumph as well as defeat. Global education as no longer a curriculum add-on, but rather a necessity for all students, as job markets and economies are increasingly interdependent. We are proudly associated with GCWAC.”
