The Regent School in Freetown, Sierra Leone
We are raising funds for the Regent School Refurbishment Project in Freetown, Sierra Leone. It is one of the poorest countries in Africa and as such depends heavily on overseas aid. The government cannot cope with the demand that exists for even basic needs such as education, health, etc. and as a result the population suffers endlessly.
The children have to endure bad conditions at best and even worse conditions whenever it rains because the school is flooded as soon as it rains, in many cases classes have to be cancelled and the children miss school. Having a better school will enhance the standards and increase the possibilities of learning for all the children.
There are 450 pupils attending this primary school and ages range between 5 and 12. The school is not large enough to accommodate pupils and staff comfortably and conditions are very poor.
