Thank you for visiting ! We are excited you are here to see our collective work. Take a moment to browse through the website and share your feedback with us.
We are committed to remaining a grassroots organization. We believe in the power of many, chipping in small amounts here and there in a collective spirit to grow nonviolent democracy. Our goal by the end of this year is to reach 500 individual donors contributing $10 per month. We are intentionally limiting the amount of money any single person can contribute, and the amount of influence any single individual can wield, because we are developing a collective movement--we are not fostering dependency on individual saviors or heroes.

My visit to SLFND impacted me in many ways. As a teacher, I am very interested in seeing my colleagues in other communities and the schools where they work with their students. I had visited rural village schools and had witnessed the extreme challenges teachers and eager students face: schools in ruins, a scarcity of the most basic school resources and overcrowded classes, to name a few. I talked to many children in my host village who weren't in school because their family could not afford the school fees. Then I visited SLFND! I met the teachers and toured the facilities. I was so impressed with the idea of providing child-centered pre-school for all, with NO school fees, and also providing nutritious meals grown and cooked on site in a permaculture setting. What an amazing way to provide an educational foundation to our world's most precious resource: our children. I was so inspired that I decided to contribute to the cause by supporting one teacher for one year, through monthly donations to SLFND. I hope you, dear reader, can support SLFND. Thank you. |
Having the opportunity to support and be apart of the Sierra Leone Foundation for New Democracy (SLFND) instilled my belief that community power exists and is thriving. In a world where greed and hatred seem so prevalent, a place like Mondema that is coming together to build a more sustainable and resilient community for themselves gives me hope and inspires me to spread that love and collaboration that I witnessed to the other communities I am apart of. |
