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.

As a social studies teacher, I have found the World Affairs Council to be an excellent classroom partner in education. From providing international guest speakers, to hosting the International Education Summit, to participating in Academic World Quest, the WAC has promised and delivered each and every time for my students. This has been a valuable relationship for over 10 years for myself and my students.”
