Education

INTRODUCTION

EnviroOne’s education programming integrates regenerative agriculture and clean water awareness to strengthen rural resilience in Sierra Leone. Recognizing the interdependence of healthy soils and safe water on community health and food systems, this initiative empowers farmers, youth, and women with the knowledge and tools needed to restore ecosystems, improve water access, and promote behavioral change through participatory learning.

We partnered with SoLight Design (https://solight-design.com/products/donatelight?variant=1282861629460). Together we raised enough funds to provide free solar lamps to school children, farmers, and women in 5 villages in our project sites.
