IMPACT SIERRA LEONE: PLANTING SEEDS OF LIFE
BREAKING GROUND
Impact Sierra Leone (ISL) is a nonprofit organization founded in Washington, DC by two daughters of Sierra Leone, Adama Kalokoh & Yeabu Conteh.
Our mission of Impact Sierra Leone is to reduce poverty & resource deprivation in Sierra Leone by implementing education, agriculture, and waste management programs.
Impact Sierra Leone has adopted the village and residents of Foindu, Sierra Leone to pilot the Seeds of Life Program initiatives. The women of Foindu are the primary stakeholders of current ISL initiatives.
THE VOCATIONAL TRAINING CENTER
Impact Sierra Leone (ISL) is excited to launch the Women’s Vocational Training Center in Foindu Village—the first step in creating a transformative Women’s Agribusiness Hub. Set to open in January 2026, the center will equip 40 women farmers with vital skills to achieve economic independence and drive community growth.
Under the guidance of certified instructors, participants will receive training in sustainable agriculture, agribusiness, clean energy, entrepreneurship, and creative trades such as tailoring, jewelry-making, culinary arts, and digital literacy—empowering them to become the next generation of “womenpreneurs” in Sierra Leone.
