August 12th marks International Youth Day, a global celebration honoring the power of young people in shaping inclusive, resilient, and sustainable societies.

In commemoration of this year’s International Youth Day [IYD], we are hosting youth groups in Bo City for the Local Conference of Youth [LCOY] on the theme: Different Context, Common Aspirations.

The LCOY provides a platform to amplify youth voices on climate adaptation and resilience. Outcomes from the conference will contribute to a national position paper to be presented at COP 31, and will also inform the development of the national strategy on climate change and resilience informed by the realities of youth.

This engagement is part of a broad-based national dialogue to ensure young people’s perspectives and solutions are reflected in Sierra Leone’s response to climate change.

We're bringing you the biggest youth climate conference in the country.
We are uniting youth, government officials, civil society stakeholders, and policymakers under one roof for three days to discuss youth positions on climate change in Sierra Leone.

We are proud to have on board Forum for Agriculture, innovation and empowerment for Children and Youths as OFFICIAL CO-HOST of the Local Conference of Youth 2026.

The Forum for Agriculture, Innovation, and Empowerment for Children and Youth Sierra Leone (FAIECY-SL) is a youth led organization dedicated to fostering positive change in agriculture, renewable energy, and environmental sustainability in Sierra Leone.

FAIECY-SL focuses on transforming local communities through climate smart agriculture and climate education, working to build a future where farming practices, education, and conservation efforts all align to protect the country's environment.

The organization disseminates knowledge on climate smart agriculture techniques that help farmers mitigate the impact of climate change on their crops and livelihoods. It collaborates with government institutions, community stakeholders, civil society organizations, children, and young people to raise awareness of climate change through targeted education. It also participates directly in environmental conservation projects, contributing to a cleaner, safer, and more sustainable ecosystem for the communities it serves.

As a co-host of LCOY 2026, FAIECY-SL joins other youth-led organisations to strengthen the event's connection to farming communities and food security concerns often overlooked in broader climate conversations.

We are proud to have you, FAIECY.

Climate education becomes more meaningful when we support our students to move beyond the classroom and put learning into practice. During our recent visit to the school garden run by our Eco School club at Saint Paul’s Anglican School, we saw the results for ourselves: healthy, nutritious crops growing well, a reflection of the students’ dedication and knowledge.

This garden is a living classroom where students apply climate education and sustainable agriculture, understand food security, and connect environmental advocacy to real outcomes they can see and taste.

Through initiatives like this, students become active agents of change in their communities. Every seed planted is a step toward a generation equipped to protect their environment.

At FAIECY-SL, we remain committed to supporting these students through our Eco School initiatives across Bo City.

We all make demands for a bountiful harvest and sufficient food supplies, but how often do we think of the soil that truly supports the growth and development of this crops?

For us, we consider this as major steps towards food sustainability, through our Lioness Gardener Project in Kpawula and Samie, we are supporting farmers with capacity trainings in improving on the quality of the soil that this crops are being grown upon, we trained them on how to repurpose waste into compost as an alternative to synthetic fertilizer
