The Impact Vocational Training Center will be a dedicated facility designed to empower 40 women from the Foindu community each year by providing training in income-generating skills of their choice. The construction of the Impact Vocational Training Center in Foindu Village is the first phase of an agribusiness hub. The vocational center’s success will lay the foundation for the broader agribusiness hub, demonstrating the impact of community-focused development which includes; a clean energy center, sanitation center and clean water center. Together, these components will create a comprehensive ecosystem for sustainable agribusiness, but starting with the vocational center ensures rapid and visible benefits, catalyzing community engagement and external investment for the hub’s expansion to be carried out in the Village.  

At the Impact Vocational Training Center, our mission is to empower women in Foindu Village, Sierra Leone, by equipping them with essential skills that foster self-reliance, creativity, and economic independence. Most of these women, who have dedicated their lives to farming, will gain the tools to diversify their livelihoods and create brighter futures for themselves and their families.

This initiative not only addresses the need for economic empowerment but also serves as a morale booster, fostering sustainable development in the community. This proposal outlines our vision, programs, and funding requirements to transform the lives of 40 women beneficiaries, as well as the youth and broader community in Foindu.
