The story

Over the weekend, two villages Mankoreh and Mabanta village Safroko Limba chiefdom participated on the weeding of our rice farm, while others were brushing for the groundnuts farm on the same day. Our cassava farm is also doing very well. We’re using agriculture to promote education in rural communities. Our aim is to increase agricultural productivity and promote sustainable agriculture for rural farmers.

Why this work matters

Food security is closely connected to education, health and household resilience. When families can produce food or receive timely support, they are better able to protect children’s learning and plan for the future.

CARDO’s community-led approach

CARDO works with farmers, young people and community leaders to connect immediate needs with longer-term resilience. The organisation promotes participation, shared responsibility and practical activities suited to local priorities.

Looking ahead

CARDO will continue listening to communities, strengthening local participation and connecting this work with its wider programmes. Supporters can contribute through donations, technical expertise, volunteering and responsible partnerships focused on measurable community priorities.

Programme focus: food security and livelihoods. To learn more, support this work or request programme documentation, contact CARDO Sierra Leone.
