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.

The devastating flooding in Freetown this week has swept away more than 300 homes, claimed 3 lives, and left 2 people missing.

Sadly, this is an ongoing reality during the rainy season. Families living in flood-prone communities face the constant fear of watching their homes and everything they own disappear in a matter of moments.

When the floodwaters begin to recede, the danger doesn’t end. Stagnant water becomes a breeding ground for disease, while flooded and blocked roads make it difficult for families to reach safety—or for aid to reach them.

But together, we can make a difference.

Your support enables our local teams to respond quickly and provide families with the essentials they urgently need:
💙 Food and clean drinking water
🧥 Raincoats and dry clothing
🛏️ Dry bedding
🧼 Essential toiletries, especially soap

These simple necessities restore dignity, protect health, and bring hope to families who have lost so much.

Please consider giving today. Every gift helps us reach those who need it most. Together, we can remind these families they are not facing this crisis alone.

In June, farmers participating in SHARP's agriculture program came together to w**d the model farm after fast-growing grasses began competing with newly sprouted crops. Without machinery or chemical herbicides, every row had to be carefully w**ded by hand...a labor-intensive task that requires both time and teamwork.

In May, farmers in SHARP’s agriculture program met with Executive Director Ibrahim Kamara to prepare for the rainy season planting cycle and explore new opportunities for year-round farming. 🌱

Farmers shared ideas for improving productivity, discussed new crops to grow alongside peanuts, and helped shape the future of the program through surveys and collaboration. Together, we’re building stronger harvests and healthier communities! 💚
