The idea for ‘Schools for Sierra Leone’ came in partnership between Street Child and Ballard School in the New Forest, England. Ballard’s Director of Estates saw an opportunity to reduce the waste of usable materials at the school and try to give them a second lease of life.

With more schools joining the ‘Schools for Sierra Leone’ campaign, funding can be spread and the quantity of items to be shipped will increase, which is a positive for all involved. Funding is required to purchase and ship the container to Sierra Leone so please use this JustGiving page when donating. As more schools hear about the ‘Schools for Sierra Leone’ campaign, Ballard and Street Child hope to be able to increase the size or frequency of shipping containers to meet the demand.
