MEET OUR COMMUNITY PARTNERS
Our Community Partners
We partner with rural communities in Eastern Sierra Leone. Our community partners typically have populations of 500 - 2,000 people, have limited access to major highways, and struggle to meet basic infrastructure needs such as healthcare facilities, schools, and sanitation. We work alongside our community partners to identify their visions for prosperity and the challenges to meeting those visions and how they can overcome them. In the same communities, we create economic opportunities for women through financial literacy and business skills training.

Where We Work
OneVillage Partners works in Sierra Leone, a West African nation known for its white sand beaches, friendly and hospitable people, and rich cultural history. Though it is ranked one of the poorest countries in the world, Sierra Leone ranks #46 on the Global Peace Index. Many rural Sierra Leoneans have limited access to basic needs and opportunities to thrive, with 44% of the population living in poverty. These challenges stem from the complex legacy of the global slave trade, colonialism, civil war, and two recent outbreaks – Ebola and COVID-19. Learn more about the history of Sierra Leone.
