About Impact Sierra Leone
Impact Sierra Leone (ISL) is a Maryland-based nonprofit reducing poverty in Sierra Leone through education, agriculture, and waste management programs VISION Impact Sierra Leone's vision is to ensure that underserved populations, particularly young women and children in Sierra Leone, have access to essential necessities. This vision includes advancing sustainability, entrepreneurship, and public health through targeted empowerment initiatives. MISSION Impact Sierra Leone's mission is to mitigate socioeconomic challenges in Sierra Leone by fostering empowerment, enhancing educational opportunities, and forging robust partnerships across the diasporic community. STRATEGY Over the next five years (2025-2030), Impact Sierra Leone will focus on empowering women to shape the future of Sierra Leone and establish a stable foundation for the lives of the girls and women involved. THE FOUNDERS Impact Sierra Leone was established in 2019 by Dr. Adama Kalokoh and Yeabu Conteh, two daughters of Sierra Leone. Their commitment to fostering economic and socio-emotional development in their homeland was inspired by their late father, a dedicated patriot of Sierra Leone. Though born in the U.S., Adama and Yeabu were deeply influenced by their father's devotion to his country. Motivated by his legacy, they launched the Seeds of Life Program following his passing. This initiative aims to tackle numerous infrastructural challenges, essential for unlocking the potential of a nation on the path to restoration. ABOUT THE VILLAGE OF FOINDU Foindu is a village located in the Tonkilili District of Sierra Leone’s Northern Province. The Northern Province is the famous center of the diamond trade in Sierra Leone, having been discovered in the commercial sense in the early 1900s. The village was largely destroyed during the war, with nearly every home having been burned down during the conflict. To learn more, visit our website http://www.impactsierraleone.org
