Help fight hunger in Sierra Leone

One proven way to fight the hunger crisis is through school meal programs. Studies show that school meals help to fight hunger, improve school enrolment, and – when the food is grown sustainably – can play a key role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions. School meals fuel children’s ability to learn, thrive and grow into the next generation of leaders contributing to their communities and, ultimately, the world. This incredible School Feeding Project in Sierra Leone has a 35x match!

With your support, the Sierra Leone school meals feeding project will help more than 300,000 children access food. But that’s not all. Female farmers, who provide food for school meals, can now earn a steady income to support their families. This incredible opportunity is making an unbelievable impact on the lives of so many children and adults.

Please take a moment and watch these videos that provide insight from the local community about the program:

We have an urgent goal to raise $500K by June 30 to help school children overcome severe hunger in Sierra Leone. Led by The Power of One Foundation, a number of our most generous donors have combined with the Sierra Leone government to match Canadian donations of up to $250,000 35X. This could unlock $9M to support critical school meal programs that fuel healthy bodies and minds.
Together, we can make a difference. Donate Today !!
