Safe Haven Adaptive Response Program Sierra Leone

Safe Haven Adaptive Response Program Sierra Leone SHARP serves the impoverished residents, with education, disaster relief, & an agriculture program

Safe Haven Adaptive Response Program [SHARP] is addressing the unfavorable climate condition in Freetown that impacts residents in the poverty stricken communities of Freetown . We are addressing the climate impact with a sustainable solution by providing disaster relief, access to quality education, sustainable agriculture programs and relocation of families to safe climate areas. Our goal is to

ensure that no one in Sierra Leone suffers from annual flooding. We hope that our disaster response and climate disaster mitigation programs serve as an example for other programs around the world that address the impacts of climate change on at-risk communities and ensure resilience for all humans. We hope to achieve this vision in Sierra Leone through the expansion of our programs. We plan to build villages for two thousand homes [2,000] within 20 years, a new Safe Haven Village, which will relocate families out of flood zones, and permanently resolve climate induced poverty for thousands of residents. As of 2021, we have already secured 50 acres of land, and the 2,000 homes vision will relocate 15,000 people from the disaster prone area to higher, flood-safe grounds.

In May, sixth-grade students from Empowering Children School in Freetown and Newton Village sat for Sierra Leoneโ€™s National Primary School Examination (NPSE) โ€” a major milestone required to advance to secondary school. ๐Ÿ“š

After months of practice exams and focused study sessions, our students and teachers worked incredibly hard. Weโ€™re proud of their dedication and confident they will continue the strong tradition of excellent NPSE results! ๐ŸŒŸ

This week, we distributed peanut seeds to 20 new farming families in Sierra Leone! ๐ŸŒฑ Even more encouraging, the 40 families who received seeds last year saved enough to plant again this season, bringing the total to 60 participating families.

Next, weโ€™ll be distributing vegetable seeds to help improve crop diversity and household nutrition. Thank you to everyone helping make this possible! ๐Ÿ’š

The roof is going on the caretaker cottage!! The cottage is thoughtfully designed with a room for egg storage and a room for grain storage. This puts us closer to the day we get the chicks, which are an integral part of our model farm.

Imagine earning your living through farming....without modern machinery, without help, and using only a simple, handmade tool.

This is the reality for most farmers in Sierra Leone.

Farmers there work incredibly hard to feed their families and communities. To help improve their productivity, SHARP provides farming tools on a loan basis.

Because these tools are passed from farm to farm, and in place of machinery, they experience significant wear and tear. Many now need to be replaced, and we urgently need more tools to reach additional farmers who are still waiting for support.

Our goal is to purchase 100 tools. Please consider donating today, by clicking the link in the comments.

๐ŸŒฑ May marks the start of the rainy season in Sierra Leoneโ€”an essential time for planting. With no irrigation, farmers rely entirely on these rains, carefully timing their crops and often planting twice to maximize harvests.

This week, SHARP is distributing peanut and vegetable seeds to farmers ready to plant. Tools are available to borrow, however many are worn from years of use and need replacing.

๐Ÿ“š Preparing for Success in Sierra Leone!
Recently, 33 students from the Freetown School and 6 students from the Newton Village School took a practice exam for The National Primary School Examination.

Mabinti Amara added, โ€œIโ€™ve never done something like this before, but Iโ€™m ready to try my best.โ€ ๐ŸŒŸโœ๏ธ

๐Ÿก Caretaker Cottage Update!
Cottage is nearing completion!! After unseasonably heavy rains in March destroyed some newly made bricks, construction is back on track with stronger, locally made concrete bricks. Soon, the caretaker will move in to care for the chickens. Volunteers also hand-dug water a source, to eliminate fetching water from the creek. ๐Ÿ’ง๐Ÿ“

Meanwhile, our 40 smallholder farmers are preparing their fields for May planting season, supported with seed and tool loans through SHARP. ๐ŸŒฑ๐Ÿ’ช
