For families across rural Sierra Leone, farming is far more than a livelihood.

Where Poverty Closes Doors, Education Opens Them
Sep 14, 2026
For millions of children in Chad, education remains a distant dream rather than a guaranteed right. Poverty, gender inequality, limited educational resources and a shortage of adequately trained teachers prevent far too many young people, especially girls, from entering the classroom and reaching their full potential.

🌱 We talk a lot about “food self-sustainability.” But what does that actually mean?
Simply put, it means helping people build a reliable source of food that can
continue long after our initial support.
For a smallholder farmer, that might mean learning a better way to grow crops, receiving seeds and tools to get started, and eventually growing enough to feed their family and sell the extra at a local market.
For a children’s home, it might mean starting a farm, installing irrigation, or raising chickens so they can provide more of their own food and spend less buying it elsewhere.
The goal isn’t just one harvest or one meal. It’s helping people build something they can continue growing themselves. 🧡

Welcome to Sierra Leone!
This October, our Country of the Month takes us to the west coast of Africa, where Sierra Leone is home to beautiful beaches, tropical forests, bustling cities, and communities with rich cultural traditions.
More than 8 million people live in Sierra Leone, with many different ethnic groups, languages, foods, music, and traditions found across the country.
And Sierra Leone is a country we know well. 🧡 Bread and Water for Africa® has worked alongside local partners there for years, supporting programs shaped by the needs of the communities they serve.
Throughout October, we’ll introduce you to the country, its culture, and some of the communities and people behind our work there.

🌱 Growing food is one thing. Having the tools and knowledge to keep growing it year after year is another.
For 30 years, Bread and Water for Africa® has worked with local partners to help farmers, families, and children’s homes build more reliable sources of food.
And that can look different depending on what a community needs.
It can mean training farmers in new growing methods, providing seeds and tools, installing irrigation systems, or helping an orphanage start a farm or poultry project that can provide food and generate income.
In 2026 alone, more than 36,000 people benefited directly or indirectly through agriculture and food self-sustainability projects we supported in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Malawi, Sierra Leone, and Tanzania.
