Breaking the Chains & Building a Brighter Future in Port Loko!

FAWE Sierra Leone has successfully concluded a vital District Stakeholder Engagement in Port Loko. This dialogue brought together local council leadership, paramount chiefs, civil society organizations, youth representatives, and community leaders to strengthen our collaborative response to the "Breaking the Chains" Empowering Communities through Gender Responsive Local Governance project.

True sustainable change happens with communities, not just for them. By engaging local authorities and system stakeholders, we are shattering the systemic barriers that hold girls and women back and building safer, more inclusive governance systems where every one can actively participate with dignity and confidence.

A huge thank you to the government of Iceland, UN Women, Ministry of Local Government, Ministry of Gender and Children's Affairs, local leaders, and the resilient women and girls of Port Loko for their unwavering commitment to localized accountability and gender justice.

Together, we are breaking barriers and building a better future.

FAWE Sierra Leone, in partnership with Street Child of Sierra Leone, continues to promote improved Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) practices in schools. As part of this initiative, WASH and personal hygiene materials were distributed to selected schools in Port Loko and Koinadugu Districts.

The support is aimed at strengthening hygiene practices among pupils and teachers, improving school sanitation, and helping create safer, healthier and more inclusive learning environments.

For FAWE Sierra Leone, access to adequate WASH facilities and hygiene materials is not only a health issue, it is also an education, child protection and gender equality priority. Girls, in particular, need safe and dignified sanitation and menstrual hygiene support to participate confidently and consistently in school.

Beyond the distribution of materials, the initiative encourages schools and communities to take responsibility for the proper use, operation and maintenance of WASH facilities, helping to ensure that these investments remain functional and beneficial over time.

Through our partnership with Street Child, we remain committed to supporting schools where every child can learn in a clean, safe and dignified environment.

๐Ÿค Together, we are strengthening schools, promoting healthy behaviours and creating better learning opportunities for children.
