January 5th, 2025 Today, we celebrate the birthdays of two wonderful individuals who are co-founders of FAIECY-SL. As we move forward this year, we wish them a productive year ahead. May the good Lord bless them abundantly for their remarkable contributions and good deeds.

Thank you all for the support, let keep the community going. 🎉🍾👏

Thanks to all our partners and philanthropists, we have reached the end of this year's programs. To prepare and refresh ourselves, we hosted a dinner for all our staff, partners, and some of the philanthropists who have been supporting our work.

As the year comes to an end, we are pleased to stage our first Annual General Meeting (AGM). As an organization, we are reflecting on our works, challenges, reviewing and strengthening our systems for a better output in 2025. We want to appreciate all partners and philanthropists who are donating to our work and helping us achieve our results.

We are thrilled to announce the official launch of our Empowering Sierra Leone project in Bagbwe Chiefdom and Lalehun, Penguia Chiefdom, the southeast region of Sierra Leone. Funded by Charitable Foundation of the Energy Bar Association, this project will enable us to construct a solar energy dryer facility. With this innovative solution, we aim to significantly reduce food and post-harvest losses, while also creating a valuable opportunity for our implementing partner, the George Washington Association of Energy Engineers (GWAEE) – a professional student association at George Washington University in the United States of America – to visit and experience Sierra Leone for the first time.

Attitude and behavioral change are key focuses for us in addressing climate change and waste management. Through our Operation Clean Bo Initiative, we engage children, young adults, the elderly, and entire communities. We emphasize their civic responsibility in maintaining a clean environment. In Sierra Leone, a significant portion of our population grows up with the misconception that only the government is responsible for cleaning the streets and public spaces, and that citizens are at liberty to litter anywhere they feel like. We aim to dispel this myth and empower citizens to take ownership of their surroundings.

We listen, engage, and let them speak to us. We assure them of confidentiality and strive to solve their problems. We apply for grants on their behalf, report on our outcomes, and work together as equal partners to solve the problem. Yes! We are FAIECY-SL, a nonprofit youth led organization that promotes Agro ecology, innovation, and climate education in Sierra Leone.

We are incredibly grateful to The Bo City Council and every single volunteer who joined us in our "Operation Clean Bo" today. Your hard work and dedication made a significant impact on our city as we conducted our final cleaning exercise for 2024. From clearing dumps, sweeping off streets to beautifying public spaces, your efforts have truly inspired us. Want to get involved in our future initiatives? Then follow us on this handle to stay updated. Thank you for making Bo a cleaner and brighter place. With your support, we can achieve the beautiful and sweet Bo we all dream of.

Today, we want to say happy birthday Miss Isatu Tabitha Kamara
