SEEDS OF LIFE PROGRAM
Brought to you by Impact Sierra Leone
Launched in 2021, the Seeds of Life Program is committed to enhancing wellness and alleviating poverty by providing education, vocational training, women’s empowerment initiatives, and social enrichment activities.
As the name suggests, the Seeds of Life Program aims to plant eight seeds within the Foindu community, fostering infrastructural and societal developments that will enhance the quality of life.
The citizens of Foindu are the primary stakeholders in the Seeds of Life Program. By addressing their community needs, the program simultaneously enhances the infrastructure of Foindu village.
Over the next five years, we at Impact Sierra Leone are committed to engaging with the community and constructing the infrastructural deliverables that will benefit the citizens of Foindu.
“It is in this way we will free two birds in one day.”
