OUR PROGRAMS

When Yandohun began their journey toward sustainable change in 2016, with 668 people, they dreamed of the most essential improvements: safe, clean water and basic sanitation.

We’re thrilled to share that OneVillage Partners has been highlighted in an inspiring Global Citizen article titled “Seeds of Change: The Organization Amplifying the Voices of Sierra Leone’s Women Farmers.”

Built on our Theory of Change, LEAD enables community members to address pressing issues, from public health to food security, building a sense of ownership and collaboration essential for sustainable change.

At OneVillage Partners, we have long been committed to transforming lives in rural Sierra Leone through sustainable community-led development. Since our establishment as a National NGO in 2016, we have made significant strides in health, education, and agriculture, uplifting communities in the Kenema and Kailahun districts.

Every year on October 10th, we come together for World Mental Health Day—an opportunity to raise awareness of mental health issues and mobilize efforts to support mental well-being globally. While this day is crucial for advancing conversations on mental health, one group that often flies under the radar in these discussions is the aid and development industry.

Rooted in the principles of communities driving their own development, our approach focuses on creating lasting impacts that transcend generations. One of the communities that perfectly embodies this vision is Jokibu.

As Mother's Day approaches, we celebrate the remarkable journey of Musu Kebah, a proud graduate of our Nurturing Opportunities for Women (NOW) program. Through NOW, Musu embarked on a transformative path, not just in managing her finances and boosting her business, but also in discovering her inner leadership potential.

Mamie and Gbeka exemplify just how life-changing water and sanitation projects are in rural communities.
