Mission Statement
Khadarlis for Sierra Leone’s mission is to provide villages in Sierra Leone with basic portable water supply systems, implementing and fostering solar electricity, health education and infection control programs. We will be networking directly with the villagers (hands on) to build housing with their natural resources. Sierra Leone is a country where 70% of the income comes from farming. We want to help implement programs that will leave these villages with agricultural efficiency so they can be self reliant. Initially we will begin with the communities of Jimmi and Senehun.
Description
Khadarlis for Sierra Leone will go into these villages to help provide fertilizers and a water supply to their farmlands. We provide basic lighting through the installment of solar energy systems. Also, we provide assistance with programs that will foster self esteem and self reliance among the community members. Our hope is that the community itself will provide some of its local resources to build housing. Building this housing will encourage the villagers to return from the overcrowded, polluted cities to their farms and to be self reliant.
