Build Schools
Some children learn under trees because the nearest school sits two villages away. We build classrooms close enough that no child has to choose between an education and a long walk home.
Textbooks and Supplies
A pencil, a notebook, a textbook to take home. These small things carry more weight than people realize. We make sure students have what they need to keep up, catch up, and stay in school.
I was born in Bo, Sierra Leone. As a boy, I walked long miles to school each morning, often before the sun was fully up. My parents believed in education the way some people believe in religion. They were sure it would carry me somewhere they had never been. They were right.
Years later, after surviving the civil war and earning a scholarship to study in the United States, I made a promise to come back to the children I left behind. Ray Foundation is that promise, taking shape one classroom at a time. We are building the schools I always wished existed when I was the boy walking those roads.
