Sierra Leone
Sierra Leone has just overcome a 10 year civil war. Schools and hospitals were burned down during the war. This is the reason Sierra Leone has one of the lowest literacy rates (percentage of people who can read and write) in the world. We want to change that. By building a school in Sierra Leone we will give kids an opportunity that they haven't had for 10 years. Building a school will also help the community in other ways. Adults can also go to night school and there will be more job opportunities like teaching and construction.
Canada
Not only does The Chance Project help people in other countries around the world, but we also like to help in our own backyard. Many people in Canada suffer from hunger and poverty. The Chance Project wants to put an end to it. This is why we have been having food drives, to support people in Canada who have to live in these conditions. We are proud to be a part of Canada and we think it is our duty, to help others in Canada out.
