Hope grows when people come together.

At Propel Organization – Skill Pool Sierra Leone, through Project EcoVision, we believe that every child deserves the opportunity to dream, learn, and build a brighter future. The children of the Goodwill Children Foundation Orphanage are in the loving care of Mr. Foday Kamara, affectionately known as “the father of many.” They are our little warriors and represent the future of Sierra Leone.

Today, we are proud to acknowledge the successful delivery of a generous donation made possible through the dedicated efforts of Mr. Alie Swazie Bangura, Managing Director of Propel Organization and Founder of Skill Pool Sierra Leone. Through his commitment and hard work, he secured a donation consisting of Le 5,000.00 and two bags of rice for the children.

According to the Goodwill Children Foundation:

* Le 4,000.00 was deposited into the children’s Goodwill account to support their ongoing needs.
* The remaining funds were entrusted to Hellen Kamara to purchase additional essential food supplies.
* Two bags of rice were delivered directly to the orphanage to help provide nutritious meals for the children.

We also extend our sincere appreciation to the donor whose generosity has helped make this support possible. Every contribution, no matter the size, brings hope and reminds these children that they are valued and loved.

Our heartfelt appreciation also goes to Mr. Foday Kamara, whose unwavering love, compassion, and dedication continue to provide these children with a safe, caring, and nurturing home. His selfless commitment truly reflects the meaning of being the father of many.

Together, Propel Organization, Skill Pool Sierra Leone, Project EcoVision, and the Goodwill Children Foundation continue to prove that partnerships built on compassion can change lives.

Because every child deserves hope. Every child deserves opportunity. Every child deserves a future.

PROJECT ECOVISION BARRIER UPDATE

Following the recent heavy rainfall, our team assessed the present condition of Lumley Creek and reviewed the photos and video taken at the river.

The EcoVision barrier has completed its maintenance and reinforcement work and is ready for relaunch. However, the river is currently carrying a powerful cross-current, increased water levels, and a heavy concentration of plastic waste and storm debris.

Under these conditions, returning the barrier to the river would place excessive pressure on the panels, connections, and anchoring system. More importantly, attempting installation now could put members of the team at serious risk.

For that reason, the relaunch has been temporarily postponed until the current and water levels become safer.

Cleanup work can still begin from the riverbanks and accessible edges, but no one will be permitted to enter or swim in the river while the current remains dangerous.

This is not a failure or a setback. It is responsible environmental and safety management. The barrier will be returned to Lumley Creek as soon as conditions allow it to operate effectively and safely.

Equipment can be repaired. Human life cannot be replaced.

Protect the river. Protect the team. Protect our future.

PROJECT ECOVISION | MONDAY ENVIRONMENTAL SPOTLIGHT

Today’s images show two very different but closely connected realities at Lumley Creek.

The beach is currently in a considerably cleaner condition than the river area. It is not completely free from litter, but the difference clearly shows why stopping pollution before it reaches the coastline is so important.

After the recent heavy rainfall, Lumley Creek is carrying large quantities of plastic, household waste, organic material, and storm debris towards the beach and the Atlantic Ocean. The strong current is moving this pollution through the river system and depositing it along the banks and surrounding vegetation.

The river, the barrier, the beach, and the ocean cannot be treated as separate environmental issues. They form one connected system.

The EcoVision barrier was created to intercept floating waste before it reaches the coastline. Once the current becomes safe, the maintained and reinforced barrier will be returned to the river. Until then, safe cleanup work will continue from the riverbanks and accessible areas.

Every bottle and piece of rubbish prevented from entering the creek is one less item that can reach our beach and ocean.

At Project EcoVision, together with Ocean Plastic Forum, Propel Organization, and Skill Pool Sierra Leone, we remain committed to protecting Lumley Creek from the river all the way to the coast.

Small actions. Lasting impact.

Protect the river. Protect the beach. Protect our future.

PROJECT ECOVISION BARRIER UPDATE

We would like to give our community and supporters a proper update on the ongoing maintenance work being carried out on the Project EcoVision plastic interception barrier at Lumley Creek.

The barrier is currently undergoing essential maintenance, reinforcement, and preparation before being returned to the river.

We are pleased to confirm that, following the completion of these works, the barrier is expected to be relaunched at Lumley Creek this week.

Why is regular maintenance so important?

The barrier is exposed to an enormous variety of waste travelling down the river — plastic bottles, bags, containers, household rubbish, branches, vegetation, timber, and other heavy debris, particularly during periods of increased rainfall and stronger river flow.

Unfortunately, much of this waste should never be entering the river in the first place.

When rubbish is irresponsibly dumped into waterways, it does not simply disappear. It travels downstream, blocks drainage, places pressure on the river system, damages ecosystems, and ultimately reaches our beaches and the Atlantic Ocean.

The purpose of the EcoVision barrier is to intercept as much of that floating waste as possible before it reaches the coastline. But because of the volume and weight of the material it captures, the system must be regularly inspected, cleaned, strengthened, and maintained.

Maintenance is therefore not a failure of the barrier — maintenance is what allows the barrier to continue doing its job.

Our team remains committed to improving the system, learning from each rainy season, and strengthening the protection of Lumley Creek and the surrounding coastline.

We would also like to remind everyone that environmental protection starts long before rubbish reaches a barrier.

Please do not dump waste into rivers, drains, streams, or waterways.

Every piece of rubbish prevented from entering the river is one less piece of pollution that has to be removed later.

Protect the river. Protect the beach. Protect our future.

PROJECT ECOVISION | SATURDAY CLEANUP UPDATE

Today’s photographs tell a powerful story: a beach overwhelmed by plastic and mixed waste, community members working together with determination, and a coastline beginning to breathe again.

Every bottle, bag, container and piece of debris removed from the sand represents more than a cleaner beach. It means less waste entering the ocean, fewer dangers for marine life, improved public health, stronger protection for local livelihoods, and a more welcoming coastline for residents and visitors.

Plastic pollution does not disappear when the tide carries it away. It breaks into smaller pieces, spreads through our waterways and can eventually enter the food chain. This is why every cleanup matters—but lasting change also depends on preventing litter before it reaches our beaches.

Today, we extend our heartfelt appreciation to every Project EcoVision volunteer and community member who gave their time, strength and energy to this important work. We also thank our local leaders, partners, supporters and everyone working behind the scenes. Whether you cleaned, collected, sorted, transported, coordinated, photographed, funded or encouraged the team, your contribution formed part of today’s impact.

The transformation shown in these images belongs to all of you.

Our work does not end when the beach is clean. We must continue educating our communities, reducing unnecessary plastic, disposing of waste responsibly and protecting the areas that have already been restored.

Small actions create real change. Collective action creates lasting change.

Together, we clean today for a better tomorrow.

Together, we can keep Sierra Leone clean, green and beautiful.

Clean Today. Protect Tomorrow. Preserve Forever.

PROJECT ECOVISION | IMPACT

Every piece of plastic removed from our beaches is one less piece threatening our oceans, our wildlife, our fisheries, and ultimately our communities.

Plastic pollution does not simply disappear. A single plastic bottle can remain in the environment for hundreds of years, breaking down into tiny microplastics that enter our rivers, our oceans, marine life, and eventually our food chain.

Today, our volunteers once again demonstrated that real change begins with ordinary people choosing to take extraordinary action.

The transformation you see is more than a cleaner beach—it is a reminder that when communities, organisations, government partners, and dedicated volunteers work together, we can restore our environment one step at a time.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to every volunteer who gave their time, energy, and commitment despite the challenging conditions. Your dedication is helping to build a cleaner, healthier, and more sustainable Sierra Leone for future generations.

We also sincerely thank our valued partners for standing alongside Project EcoVision and believing that environmental protection is a shared responsibility. Together, we are proving that collaboration creates lasting impact.

This is not just about cleaning beaches.

It is about protecting marine life.
It is about safeguarding tourism.
It is about preserving livelihoods.
It is about creating healthier communities.
It is about leaving a legacy we can all be proud of.

Every bottle collected...
Every bag removed...
Every volunteer who shows up...
Every supporter who believes in this vision...
..is helping write a new chapter for Sierra Leone.

Together, we clean today for a better tomorrow.

Thank you for believing in Project EcoVision.
Thank you for protecting our environment.
Thank you for helping keep Sierra Leone clean, green, and beautiful.

From Pollution to Progress – Together We Made a Difference!

Today was far more than a beach cleanup—it was a powerful demonstration of what can be achieved when a community comes together with one shared purpose: protecting our environment for future generations.

The before-and-after photographs speak for themselves. What began as a shoreline heavily polluted with plastic waste and marine debris has been transformed through the dedication, teamwork and determination of an incredible group of volunteers.

Project EcoVision was proud to lead today's cleanup operation in preparation for the EcoWash programme, working hand in hand with our community to restore part of beautiful Lumley Beach.

This achievement belongs to every person who picked up a rake, filled a bag, pushed a wheelbarrow, or gave their time to make a difference.

A special thank you to:

Alie Swazie Bangura, for his outstanding leadership and coordination throughout the day.

Retired Major Joseph Kamara, for his continued commitment and operational leadership.

Leo, our dedicated team members, and every community volunteer whose hard work made today's success possible.

Our sincere appreciation also goes to the Ministry of Tourism and Cultural Affairs and the National Tourist Board (NTB) for their leadership in promoting a cleaner, more sustainable tourism environment.

This is not the end—it is the beginning.

Project EcoVision remains committed to the daily maintenance of Lumley Creek, the plastic barrier, and ongoing beach cleanups. Together with our community partners, we will continue working to stop plastic pollution before it reaches the Atlantic Ocean.

Today's cleanup proves an important truth:

"When a community works together, even the biggest environmental challenges can be overcome."

To every volunteer in today's team—thank you. You have shown what community pride, teamwork and determination look like in action, and we are incredibly proud of every one of you.

Together, we are creating a cleaner, healthier and more beautiful Sierra Leone.

This week’s EcoVision Science Spotlight focuses on the science of plastic pollution and what it does in our environment.

Plastic does not simply disappear. It can remain in the environment for hundreds of years, breaking down into smaller and smaller pieces known as microplastics. These particles can spread through waterways, damage ecosystems, threaten marine life, and increase flooding risks when waste blocks drains and natural water flow.

What we see on our beaches today is not just litter. It is long-term environmental damage in motion.

The reality is simple: plastic pollution affects our water, our coastline, our livelihoods, and our future. It harms marine ecosystems, reduces the beauty and value of our beaches, and places additional pressure on already vulnerable communities.

At Project EcoVision, together with Ocean Plastic Forum, Propel Organization, and Skill Pool Sierra Leone, we believe that awareness must be backed by knowledge. The more people understand the science, the stronger our response can be.

Know the facts. Protect the future.

This photo, taken from our Project EcoVision stockpile, is a stark reminder of the scale of plastic pollution affecting our coastline.

What should be a place of beauty, livelihood, and community pride has been overwhelmed by waste. Plastic bottles, containers, and debris are not only destroying the natural beauty of our beaches, but also threatening marine life, damaging tourism, and putting our future at risk.

Our beaches are not dumping grounds.

At Project EcoVision, together with Ocean Plastic Forum, Propel Organization, and Skill Pool Sierra Leone, we continue to raise awareness and push for stronger environmental action to protect our coastlines and waterways.

This is why community action matters. What is thrown away carelessly does not disappear — it returns to our beaches, our rivers, and our communities.

Protect our beach. Protect our future.

29/06/2026

This image tells a painful truth.

What should be a beautiful shoreline has become a dumping ground for plastic waste. Every bottle, wrapper, and piece of debris washed onto our beaches is a threat to marine life, to our communities, to tourism, and to the future of our coastline.

Plastic pollution does not disappear. It breaks down, spreads, and continues to damage the environment long after it is thrown away. What reaches the beach today may have started in our streets, drains, and waterways yesterday.

At Project EcoVision, together with Ocean Plastic Forum, Propel Organization, and Skill Pool Sierra Leone, we believe that change starts with awareness, responsibility, and community action.

Protect our beach. Protect our future.

The fight against plastic pollution is not just about cleanup — it is about changing habits, protecting livelihoods, and preserving Sierra Leone’s natural beauty for generations to come.
