u003cpu003eSome 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.u003c/pu003e

u003ch2 style=u0022text-align: center;u0022u003eI Walked These Roadsu003c/h2u003e

u003cpu003eI 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.u003c/pu003e

u003cpu003eYears 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.u003c/pu003e

u003cp style=u0022text-align: center;u0022u003eThis work is not mine alone. It belongs to the students who show up early, the teachers who stay late, and the parents who believe their children deserve more. It belongs to the communities of Sierra Leone who are doing the hardest part of the work themselves. We are simply trying to keep up with them.u003c/pu003e
