In late January, the President of the Republic Sierra Leone, Julius Maada Bio did a tour at the Saint Anthony School in Freetown together with the Minister of basic education.

It was a profound privilege during their visit to have the minister of basic education visit Hope for Lives computer lab and library, who suggested a collaborative idea between Hope For Lives and the government of Sierra Leone to help teach teachers from other schools learn computer skills.

As you all already know, Hope For Lives has been providing free efforts to the educational and health system for the past years in Sierra Leone and at Saint Anthony school we were able to build a computer lab and library for the school children.

With the free education program launched by the president, it has been a win-win situation for organizations like us and we look forward to giving our unflinching support to the government of Sierra Leone through the ministry of basic education in the free education agenda for all children in Sierra Leone, as they are our priority.

Our beloved country comes first when it comes to Hope for Lives in Sierra Leone. We're a non-governmental organization. We will always work with the government to help support children in Sierra Leone.
