Here is an EducAid video from 2016. It provides the mission and purpose of the organization in Sierra Leone.
Imagine teaching science without equipment and materials to do lab or other hands-on activities. Imagine your science classroom not having electricity, let alone Internet access. What types of active science lessons are possible? This site is dedicated to providing lesson plans for a variety of active, hands-on that any teacher can use! Let's be sure EVERY student, no matter their circumstances, can learn science by doing some science!

STEM Education identified as the KEY to Africa's innovation & growth
A UN report outlines how STEM education is necessary and the key to more innovation and growth in Africa. STEM is going to be the key to developing and implementing numerous issues around the world, identified through the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and this is especially true in Africa, where, unfortunately, too many of the world's poorest nations are located. This report calls for African governments to invest more in STEM education.
The purpose of the SEE SAW Project has been to provide ideas for active, hands-on lessons and labs for science and math classes in Sierra Leone, and anywhere else that can make use of them. The lessons assume there is little or no lab space, little or no science lab equipment and supplies, and even a lack of training to teach science and math this way by teachers. This is to help change how teachers teach science and math, and to encourage them to use their own creativity to develop their own labs and active lessons and even research programs, and begin to form a generation of innovators, scientists, and creators, who can help solve major problems in their regions! This is the hope and goal.
Note that, as far as research projects for high school level students, this site has hundreds of ideas for real research that does not require professional laboratories or equipment.
