We are raising capital to provide relief to the most vulnerable women and girls of the Moyamba District in Sierra Leone. With your help, these women are willing to work hard and earn an honest living to provide for themselves and their children (450 people) by growing 60 acres of cassava. In Sierra Leone, the crisis created by COVID-19 has been a trigger for social unrest, gender-based violence against women and girls, child mothers, rape, abandoned street children, prostitution, and crimes committed to make ends meet. With your support, staff and volunteers from the NEED Sierra Leone Non-Profit will organize and manage every detail of the project to help these women produce cassava, learn best practices in business, and receive support to end gender-based violence in the community. •Watch our YouTube video to see the faces of these remarkable women and hear their story: https://youtu.be/nQtI5fymf_U •Read their detailed business plan: https://www.bridgesafrica.org/cassavaproject
