People often think, how can I, as one person, make a dent in the world’s problems?  Well, I’ve found change starts with one person here making a difference in the life one person somewhere else.

The first step is to get involved. Just take one positive step.  Many small  positive actions add up to real change. That’s what movements are all about.

Not sure what kind of positive action you can take? Sherbro Foundation supports girls’ education and addressing extreme poverty in Sierra Leone.  Here’s a list of actions you can take to help us help the people of Sierra Leone.
