TIES is renewing its support for the Sierra Leone Afterschool Project delivered by CAUSE Canada in the Koinadugu District of Sierra Leone in western Africa. CAUSE is tripling the size of of the program to provide assistance to 1,152 students to improve their math and literacy scores.
TIES will provide funding to buy additional RACHELs and tablets to be used in Mobile Learning Labs that will take the learning resources to schools in villages that are off-grid and otherwise would have no access to online materials.
Last year’s program produced dramatic improvements in both math and reading skills, and we are very pleased to be able to help even more kids through our renewed support.
