A place to find books and read.

There are few places in Sierra Leone that have a library, and TBOW has started one in the Gbo chiefdom. Water their minds and watch them grow.

It takes a village.

🌱This week, we launched something meaningful within some Villages in the Bo District provinces. Strengthen Our Sierra Leoneans (SOS) Community Development Program, a new pilot under Tenki.

SOS was created with one purpose: to understand families real needs and build support that is fair, ethical, and rooted in dignity. The official program will support vulnerable families through home improvement, essential food, clothing, and one‑time financial assistance.

Before anything can begin, we must listen. That’s why our first step is a **needs assessment** — walking from home to home, hearing people’s stories, and learning what life truly looks like for the families we hope to serve.

🌍 Day 1 & Day 2 — Communities opening their doors.
•Gbaiima & Dodo

Over the first two days, our ambassadors moved through Gbaiima and Dodo with purpose. Families welcomed them wholeheartedly. Every conversation reminded us that people don’t just need help — they need to be seen and heard.

We gathered information about home safety, and daily challenges. And we made sure every family understood what the program entails and that the full SOS program is anticipated to begin next year, with fair and ethical selection based on clear criteria. No promises. No pressure. Just transparency.

Fortunately, we were able to distribute a few clothing and shoe items to the villages as a mere thank you.

❤️ **Why This Matters**

In just two days, we witnessed trust growing — slowly and naturally. When people feel heard, they open up. When they open up, real change becomes possible.

This is only the beginning, but it already feels like the start of something powerful. Together, we will continue to strengthen our Sierra Leoneans one home, one family, one village at a time.

Over the weekend, a life was saved.

Yesterday, we saw our training being cascaded at the facilities of our top performers, and one of them shared that they saved a life, and they were so grateful they had our training on postpartum hemorrhage. They were able to implement the treatment bundle and we saw mother who lived.

Though she was weak, she laid there, alive with her baby. That’s enough to celebrate.

We stand on quality not quantity. We don’t just want to show up and talk, we ensure our participants actually learn. And if they walk away with one of our certificates, it means they learned new skills to help reduce maternal and neonatal mortality in Sierra Leone, and they’re confident enough to cascade that knowledge down to the colleagues in their facilities.

We work with our partners to provide sustainable impacts and capacity building that makes a difference.

Tenki 🙏🏾💕

The midwives of Sierra Leone really are superwomen!

We concluded the conference with 39 new champions of managing postpartum hemorrhage and neonatal care, all provided with action plans for their facilities.

Ten of them were identified as practice coordinators and provided with the tools to conduct low-dose high frequency trainings in their facilities, and 3 of them are now designated as fully qualified trainers in their communities with imbedded training-of-trainers system.

Thank you to our partners Healey International Relief Foundation and Helping Children Worldwide for the time, effort and resources you put in this conference every year to make it a success. And a huge thank you to Rotary International for the significant contribution to make this conference possible.

It takes a village.
