This moment represents the powerful evolution of our work in Sierra Leone:
It began with our pioneer Mend the Gap Schooling Program for Ebola (EVD) Orphans and Survivors (MDG) in 2016.
To ensure mothers and caregivers could continue supporting their children after BLP’s direct involvement ended, we established the BLP Mothers’ Club. From there, we introduced Village Savings and Loans Associations (VSLA) as a sustainable exit strategy focused on financial literacy. Today, these same VSLA women are stepping into smart agriculture, starting this May with groundnuts and cassava.
Why should our people go hungry when there is vast arable land? This demonstration centre will empower VSLA groups with practical skills in sustainable farming while generating income and improving food security.
We are grateful to the Chief and the entire Rosint and Manor communities for their trust and commitment.
