We’re thrilled to share that we’ve drilled 14 wells in Sierra Leone so far! Unlike hand-dug wells, which often dry up or become contaminated, these wells reach deep aquifers, providing a steady source of clean water for drinking, childbirth, and other essential needs. Thanks to the community’s efforts, reliable water access is transforming lives every day.
—Building and Establishing of a Computer lab in a school with solar and internet
—It will empower 50 students each year with computer science skills for 20 to 30 years in a school before replacement of equipment’s
Support practical, efficient power for an existing computing curriculum. The new Bumpe HS computer program uses laptops recharged regularly by a small generator. Solar energy is an efficient alternative for powering these computers.
Elementary, middle, high school up to college age students can connect with students in the Bumpe Chiefdom through video conference. Students have so far worked on projects involved with Education, Public Health, and Female Empowerment. Please see the examples of completed and ongoing projects below (Click on Photos).
Newly rehabilitated staff quarters for the recruiting of female teachers at Bumpe High School
Bicycles are provided for students who walk several miles daily to attend Bumpe High School
The Bumpe High School library was rebuilt and stocked with essential reference sources
During the eight months of no schooling in Sierra Leone during the Ebola epidemic, we engaged students in a checkout book program with assignments in all subjects. Students checked in for books on a daily basis and they were guided by the volunteers.
We were contracted by The Village Link (an international non-profit organization) to teach teachers and community youths the basics of computing in Gollu Village.
We have rented an office with 3 rooms, 1 store and a big open space in Bumpe Town.
102 students now boast of email and Facebook accounts. Bumpe High School students exchange emails with students abroad ( High schools in Connecticut and in Costa Rica).
We provided books, uniforms, bags, footwear, and other learning materials that enabled children orphaned during the war to start/continue schooling.
public health
Our team is working to send funds to make masks, purchase buckets, soaps, and sanitary supplies to help prevent the spread of COVID-19. We need your help to make this happen!
We mobilized and engaged over 600 people in Bumpe Town on a massive general environmental cleanup project.
While Ebola was spreading in a region largely lacking radio, TV stations or newspapers, a new "local news" distribution was developed.
During the Ebola epidemic buckets and chlorine for frequent hand washing were distributed to all the villages within Bumpe Ngao Chiefdom.
We educated the Chiefdom's people (about 40,000), especially teachers, community youth, and chiefs in 232 villages on prevention, signs, and methods of contracting the Ebola virus.
