Irish Parliamentary Delegation Visits LIFE Project Community in Pujehun District

This week, the LIFE consortium hosted a high-level Irish delegation in Macca Soro Village, Soro Gbema Chiefdom, Pujehun District, to showcase community-led progress in building climate resilience and improving nutrition outcomes for vulnerable households.

The visit brought together Restless Development, Welthungerhilfe Sierra Leone, Concern Worldwide, Safe Capital, and Doctors with Africa — partners in the Improving Food and Nutrition Outcomes of Vulnerable Households through Strengthening Climate Resilience, Fostering Financial Inclusion and Access to Clean Energy (LIFE) consortium.

The delegation included two Members of the Irish Parliament, the Irish Ambassador to Sierra Leone, the Head of Development at the Irish Embassy, and other senior Embassy officials.

As part of the tour of LIFE project facilities, the delegation met with adolescent girls supported by Restless Development through LIFE’s safe space and mentorship model.

Alfred Turay, Restless Development Programme Coordinator, briefed the delegation on the approach: trained mentors guide girls in safe, inclusive spaces where they openly discuss climate change, nutrition, and comprehensive sexuality education. The model builds confidence, knowledge, and life skills that empower girls to make informed decisions about their health, livelihoods, and futures.

The visit provided an opportunity for the delegation to hear directly from participants about how the LIFE project is strengthening resilience at household and community level, while placing young people — especially girls — at the center of sustainable development.

About LIFE
The LIFE consortium is funded by Irish Aid and works in Tonkolili, Pujehun and Kenema Districts to improve food and nutrition security by integrating climate-smart agriculture, financial inclusion, clean energy access, and youth-led social empowerment.

📢YOUTH SPOTLIGHT: From Kenema to London!

Congratulations to Bockarie Sovula for representing Development on the global stage at the Global Partnerships Conference in London, hosted by the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office! ✈️

Sovula didn't just take a seat at the table; he made sure youth voices were at the center of the conversation. In a rare, direct meeting with the Head of the Global Partnerships Conference, Sovula spoke honestly about what young people actually need to see happen "after the cameras go off."

He strongly advocated for accountability and championed the 10 Point Plan call to action, ensuring that global policies translate into real impact.

Thank you, Sovula, for your courage, leadership, and for amplifying the power of young people.

🌟 Smiles that say it all! 🌟

Through the Empower Her project, Restless Development Sierra Leone has provided vital back-to-school support (Books, pens, pencils, Mathematical sets, bags, and cash) to 50 out-of-school adolescent girls and 200 in-school girls at St Joseph’s and Harford School in Moyamba.

We’re committed to creating an environment where young people can thrive—offering essential skills, materials, and financial support so every girl can reach her full potential.

With funding from the Stone Family Foundation, the Empower Her Initiative worked hand in hand with the Government of Sierra Leone to ensure girls not only access education but also stay in school.

The impact is clear: mindsets are shifting, education is being reinforced as a pathway to empowerment, and sustainable structures are being built for the future.
