Sierra Leone Education And Development Trust

We raise money in the UK so that we can pay the secondary school fees of the brightest children from poor homes in several villages in Sierra Leone - Mahera, Kayunga, Bonthe and Shenge. We also buy wheelchairs and adapted bicycles to enable disabled children to get to school. Finally, we give grants to groups and organisations which meet the education and training needs of the poorest students.
