Village Hope is helping poor, rural communities in Sierra Leone achieve their goals for education, health, and economic security.

We are working with 33 villages, six elementary schools, and about 4500 peopole near Lunsar in northern Sierra Leone. Six “communities” have been formed, each consisting of a school and the villages that send students to the school.

A full-time Village Hope employee, living in Lunsar, works with these communities. The community provides information about themselves and their goals. Village Hope staff provide information about ways to improve education, health, and economic security. Loans are then provided to the community to carry out commmunity development or personal, income-generating projects.
