Promoting Financial Resilience and Food Security Project – ( Phase I1)

About this project

The Promoting Financial Resilience and Food Security Project Phase 11) implemented by Caritas Sierra Leone in Kenema, seeks to consolidate earlier gains and expand into 10 new communities in Mandu Chiefdom, Kailahun District over a 12-month period (April 2026 – March 2027). Building on successes in Peje Bongre Chiefdom, the project will strengthen Village Savings and Loan Associations (VSLA), provide business management training, and promote household-level agroecological demonstration plots, replacing the previous animal husbandry component. With increased livelihood grants, beneficiaries will be supported to establish demo plots, scale small enterprises, and improve food security and income resilience. The initiative targets 250 direct participants and approximately 1,000 indirect beneficiaries, emphasizing women and youth inclusion, market linkages, and sustainable practices. Backed by a budget of £40,923.63 (˜ Le 1,245,000.64), the project aims to deliver lasting livelihood improvements, strengthen financial inclusion, and create a replicable model for resilient agroecological livelihoods across Kailahun district
