The FoSL Board recently approved a $1,900 project grant to renovate and rehabilitate four latrines to improve sanitation facility at Craftshare Vocational Training Centre in Bo City. We wish them success on their project!

Check out some pictures from the @SUDUSalone Handing Over Ceremony of the newly rehabilitated Murray Town Maternity Ward that FoSL helped fund! We are so happy to see that their project was a success!

The SSS Science students have been using it weekly this term, especially the SSS3 who are preparing for their WASSCE exams in the spring. In the picture, you can see SSS3 students doing a Physics lab with springs from last week.

Hi FoSL Members! We just received an update on the Science Lab project that FoSL funded earlier this year at United Brethren Academy SSS in Lungi-Town.

Thank you to Ambassador Sowa and Deputy Ambassador Mesali for spending their Sunday night with FoSL and updating us on what’s going on in SL as well as in DC! Video of the talk will be available shortly for our members on our website under special content, once you log in. Enjoy!

Ginger is a new crop being planted this year by some of the women. It will be sold with other Mamaka products, like palm oil and honey, in the women’s Mile 91 shop. Visit our FoSL website for a complete update on this project:

Here are pictures to show a short update on the progress of the Mamaka Project. The rains have been more normal this year and the rice harvest looks promising. Cassava will be harvested when we get the Processing Center completed.

Funded by donations as well as various FoSL Project Grants over the years, the Mamaka Project now serves 216 farmers (95 men and 116 women), over 585 acres under cultivation, across 3 Sierra Leonean villages: Mamaka, Ropothka, and Mamorka.

The need is for $35,000 (800,000 New Leones) to convert and outfit the building to an environment conducive to learning and deliver even more educational benefit to the children of Mondema. Help us raise money for this wonderful project by donating through FoSL on our website.

This effort created the successful Passion for Learning Initiative (PLI) which involves a traveling teacher going to school to school, teaching reading through phonics – something entirely missing in the existing educational system. PLI is governed by a local Board of leaders.

The village of Mondema, Sierra Leone (West Africa) has partnered with Bruce and Brenda Blair (USA) for ten years, working to deliver effective early childhood education.

We are proud to announce our partnership with Passion for Learning Initiative in Sierra Leone. Their mission is to create real Hope in Sierra Leone by inspiring early childhood education.
