Supporting the Education of Young Girls in Sierra Leone
We know that education is one of the best pathways out of poverty. But in many places, the cost of tuition and supplies — plus the lost income from sending children to school rather than work — prevents many young people from getting an education. This year Lutheran World Relief has launched a new education initiative in Sierra Leone and we at Immanuel are committing to helping them in this work! We will be joined in worship on Sunday, May 4th by Rev. Lisa Kipp from Lutheran World Relief, who will share more about this project and the impact it has on student’s lives. Then, for the month of May we will be collecting donations with the goal of supporting the education of 40 students for 1 year! (On average the cost to send one girl to school is $29/month or $348/year.)
Due to an anonymous donor, we already have enough funds to support 14 students, can you help us support the other 26?
Gift made by check can be placed in the offering plate with LWR MATCH in the memo. Gifts can also be made electronically HERE. Select the fund LWR-Lutheran World Relief
