Right now, students in some of the most remote regions of Sierra Leone are working hard to build futures filled with possibility — but hunger is standing in their way. Students like Adama.
Adama is a teenager living in a small village in the Bombali District. She studies at a secondary boarding school where she and many of her peers come from homes where “education is a luxury, not a guarantee,” according to Christiana, the boarding house matron.
Every day, Adama receives Rise Against Hunger meals that fuel her health and education. When asked what the meals mean to her, she beams, “These meals make me feel so good and happy, and they are important because they help me grow stronger and healthier… they help me focus better in school.”
Adama now has the focus and energy to pursue the future she’s always envisioned — proof of the transformation your generosity fuels.
That’s why your gift matters — and why we can’t wait. When you give today, you ensure students like Adama receive the daily nutritious meals they rely on to learn, grow and thrive. It costs $365 to nourish a student for an entire school year. Your gift today fuels the futures of countless students like Adama — right when they need it most. Give The Gift That Fills today and transform futures this holiday season.
