Celebrating 2 Years of Hard Work!

For the past 2 years, in order to make a difference in the lives of those who need it most, my organization operating in Bompehtoke town, Sherbro land, Sierra Leone (SL), has been working hard to expand our rural development work to 6 more additional villages surrounding Bompehtoke, and to accomplish the following:

 

1. We are growing plenty of food in Bompehtoke town to help end the food shortage in SL.​​

 

2. Since rice is the staple food in SL, my organization has been providing rice seeds yearly for farmers in Bompehtoke and also for farmers residing in the 6 villages surrounding Bompehtoke town to help them grow more food to feed their families and improve their livelihoods.

 

3. We provided NLe 26,000 micro entrepreneur assistance grants for Bompehtoke women to empower them to start or expand their businesses.

 

4. We have ensured that healthcare is being provided in a clean, safe and hygienic environment by completing the total renovation of the Bompehtoke community hospital; and provided the hospital with much needed medical supplies.

 

5. We are constructing the very 1st secondary school building in Bompehtoke town and for the 1st time, this school will start providing high school education for kids in Bompehtoke town and the surrounding villages.
