⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Mrs. Aminata Kamara - Secondary School Educator, Freetown
"I’ve been using the Colorfly exercise books in my classroom since January 2025, and they’ve made a real difference. The 120gsm paper prevents ink bleed, even with the cheaper pens many students use. I especially appreciate the pre-printed fields—they save time and help keep assignments organized. After six months of daily use, the cardboard covers still hold up well, which is more than I can say for other notebooks we’ve tried."Purchase Date: January 2025 | Usage Period: 6 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ David Conteh - Education Supplies Coordinator, Ministry Partner Program
"We procured the Base Model for distribution across 12 primary schools in late 2024. Now, eight months later, feedback from teachers has been overwhelmingly positive. The official Sierra Leone design fosters a sense of pride, and the RoHS certification gave us confidence in student safety. These notebooks are durable enough to last a full academic year, reducing the need for mid-term replacements. For institutions, this is a game-changer."Purchase Date: November 2024 | Usage Period: 8 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ Fatmata Jalloh - Homeschooling Parent, Bo City
"I bought the A5 size for my two children in March 2025. They love writing in them because the pages aren’t see-through like their old notebooks. The ruled format is perfect for handwriting practice, and I use the subject field to assign topics. Only reason I didn’t give five stars is that I wish the A5 had a slightly thicker cover—but overall, excellent value for home learning."Purchase Date: March 2025 | Usage Period: 4 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Ibrahim Sankoh - Grade 10 Student, Makeni
"These notebooks are way better than the ones we used before. My math and English notes stay neat because the paper doesn’t tear easily, even when I erase a lot. The name and class section on the front stops mix-ups during submissions. I’ve had mine since February 2025, and it still looks good after seven months of school. Even the cover hasn’t bent!"Purchase Date: February 2025 | Usage Period: 7 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Grace Mensah - Procurement Lead, West Africa Learning Supplies
"We’ve tested multiple notebook brands for school programs, and the Colorfly Advanced Model stands out. We ordered a pilot batch in December 2024 with custom teacher fields. The ISO 9001 and RoHS certifications made compliance easy, and the reinforced binding survived heavy student use. We’re now scaling up for nationwide distribution. A rare blend of affordability, safety, and durability."Purchase Date: December 2024 | Usage Period: 8 months

Dr. Ebenezer Adjei - Educational Resource Development Consultant
"After evaluating over 30 notebook models across West Africa, I recommend the Colorfly series—particularly the Advanced and Pro Models—for institutional use. Their structured customization, 120gsm+ paper, and safety certifications align perfectly with modern educational standards. The A4/A5 flexibility also supports differentiated learning needs from primary to senior secondary levels."
Linda B. Johnson - Environmental Compliance Advisor, UNESCO Partner
