Project SIerra is a four year
partnership between Soroptimist International and Hope and Homes
for Children which will transform the lives of some of the most
deprived children and women in the world. The goals for this
project in Sierra Leone, West Africa are:
Improve the health and life chances of thousands of deprived
women and children living in abject poverty
Promote stability and self-reliance in post conflict society
Provide education, training, small business and life skills
support to enable families to become self-sufficient and support
their children
Build the capacity of local childcare models of excellence that
can be shared with other countries in Africa
Enable more children to grow up in a caring family.
Additionally, Project Sierra will actively contribute to the UN
Millennium Development Goals. Each child and family’s needs are
individually assessed and access to food, education and
healthcare are provided accordingly. Link:
