EduNations

EduNations is a nonprofit organization that builds and operates Christian-based schools in Sierra Leone that are devoted to providing free, quality education to children who otherwise would not receive one. It operates 15 schools in 6 villages and serves roughly 3700 students. Each village includes an Evangelical Presbyterian Church with a pastor and session formed as a result of the Christian-based education at the schools. The school buildings also serve as a foundation for development projects within many of the local communities.

Fintonia

The children of the Susu and Fulani tribes of Fintonia are starving for education. EduNations operates a nursery school, a primary school and a junior secondary school. Other areas that have been developed in this village include a clean water well, a church, solar lights and latrines.

Gbenekoro

The village of Gbenekoro is home to the largely unreached Kuranko Tribe. EduNations supports both a local government primary school and clinic and has recently built and operates the area’s only junior secondary school. EduNations has also helped install a clean water well, a church, power for the school and new latrines.

Makump

Before EduNations, these desperately poor, rural groups of villages in the Tonkolili District had built their own “mud block” school, educating their children with volunteers. EduNations helped this community repair their school, and has recently built and operates a solid concrete primary school. With a brand new clean water well, a church, solar lights, latrines, and a brand new nursery school, the children are learning and thriving!

Mapainda

EduNations has partnered with Mapainda and surrounding villages since 2004. There are over 400 students in this remote, rural community where EduNations Hope Academy has become a standard bearer of education for the region. The school has clean water wells and the community has solar lights, a church and sanitary latrines.

Mayatta

EduNations “inherited” the neglected primary school of Mayatta from the village leadership and has worked hard to upgrade and improve the quality of education in this very poor village. With school repairs, added classrooms, new furniture, solar power, latrines and clean water, the children of Mayatta are now experiencing the hope that a free, high-quality education provides.

Rokassa

Until now, this remote and rural community of the Temne People has had no access to education since before the Blood-Diamond War. As of 2021, EduNations operates four schools in Rokassa. The new senior secondary school functions as a boarding school, where students from all six EduNations villages who have completed their junior secondary education will live and continue their high school education. In addition to education, there is a clean water well, latrines, solar lights, a church, a pavilion, a medical clinic, a community garden, and a guest house.
