In rural Sierra Leone, most EduNations students walk to school each day—but for many, that journey can total up to 13 miles. The long distances and rugged terrain present daily challenges, especially for female students who face increased risks and vulnerabilities along the way. For students living across the river from our schools, walking isn’t even an option—canoes are their only means of getting to class. The School Transportation Project provides practical solutions like bicycles and canoes, helping students arrive safely, on time, and ready to learn.
