Over 1,000 fruit trees were planted in two communities in Sierra Leone along with completed construction of 120 meters of canal to mitigate heavy flooding in a climate resilience intervention implemented by World Hope International in partnership with National Skill Pool and funded by Engineers without Borders Denmark. In addition to tree planting and canal building, waste clearing and awareness-raising activities were key activities in the communities during this project's implementation. The two communities also received COVID-19 support for sanitation and hygiene. A collaborative meeting was held recently for the communities with representatives from Office of National Security (ON Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Community stakeholders, Climate Resilience Community (CRC) members, women, youth, teachers, health officials, the Freetown city council health superintendent, and the Freetown city council sanitation director.
