In 2019, after four years of providing support to the Sonjour Community School based in Sierra Leone, West Africa some leadership changes took place within the Sierra Leone government. As a result of these changes a renewed focus was placed on education, meaning that the Sonjour Community School would receive ongoing support from the Sierra Leone government. This was a great outcome for the school, and meant that inCommunity would cease providing ongoing support through the Sierra Leone Project. Through our contributions we saw many encouraging outcomes for children in Sierra Leone, who previously did not have access to education and we look forward to a bright new future of education in Sierra Leone.
