Hope Rising Together

🌸 HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY! Thank you to all the mothers, home mothers, aunties and caregivers who give us a good foundation. Today we celebrate you!

This month, we are proud to honor women past and present from Sierra Leone. After Ebola devastated Sierra Leone, the country struggled with only 80 doctors. They currently have the world’s highest maternal death rate (women not surviving childbirth) and a great need to protect and prevent the under-five population from illness and death. Meet two women who are heroes to us. Matilda and Marion are part of our Medical Health Center staff, providing care to so many women and children. Every week, they help us combat malnutrition through our feeding program on and off campus. We are so thankful for medical professionals who are are helping to sustain life. Let's hear it for these women!

Hey, sponsors, it's time to write your letters! We value the relationship you are building with your student. They look forward to receiving your letters and they get very excited to write you back! This is a quick turn around this time: we need all letters by Friday, March 24. Two options are: 1️⃣ UPLOAD a letter online or 2️⃣ MAIL a letter to our Post Office Box. Link in bio.

This month we are proud to honor women past and present from Sierra Leone. In a country where women are a de-valued commodity, we recognize their worth and contributions. Starting here, we introduce our school cooks, who keep things running every day at Hope Rising Academy. They nourish bodies and feed growing kids. We are thankful for their role in daily caring for 468 students. Let's hear it in the comments for these incredible women!
