Sierra Leone

For most children in rural Sierra Leone, farm work is seen as a means of punishment. The children only focus their attention on the labor that the discipline entails, forgetting about the knowledge, skills, and the income the grower gains to support their livelihood.

This project will create the awareness in the children that agriculture is a business that gives people the skills required to create income that makes them self-sufficient.

There are many young children who have recently come to the COTN Children’s Home in Sierra Leone through our Ebola Interim Care Center. These children all experienced traumatic events and the loss of their families due to the Ebola crisis. 

There is an urgent need for six pit latrines in the COTN primary school (three for boys, three for girls) as well as a renovation of the existing bathroom, which will be used by staff.
