Why does Schools for Salone exist? Because Education Equals Opportunity
Sierra Leone (also known as ‘Salone’) is a small country in West Africa. Torn apart by civil war and more recently by Ebola, the country is working hard to reclaim a hopeful future.

Today it is estimated that 70 percent of Sierra Leoneans live in poverty. Of all regions, sub-Saharan Africa has the highest rates of education exclusion. Nearly one in three children in the median country does not complete primary school, and three in five fail to complete lower secondary.

Access to high-quality primary education is a globally-recognized solution to the cycle of poverty. For students who experienced trauma as the result of war, poverty, natural disasters, education restores a sense of connection and school provides a safe place to learn.
