Village Hope is helping poor, rural communities in Sierra Leone achieve their goals for education, health, and economic security.
We are working with 45 villages and six elementary schools near Lunsar in northern Sierra Leone. Six “communities” have been formed, each consisting of a school and the villages that send students to the school.
