Football campaign and sensitization seminar to empower the underprivileged in Sierra leone

The Republic of Sierra Leone is a country with a significantly high rate of underprivileged persons. According to the Sierra Leonean multidimensional poverty index 2019 profile published by Oxford Human Development (OPHI), Ministry of Planning and Economic Development, Statistics Sierra Leone and UNDP, indicates that 64.8% of the population in Sierra Leone was multidimensionally poor in 2017. The Southern and Northern regions had the highest poverty rates with 76.0% and 75.8% respectively, while the Western region had the lowest poverty rate of 36.2%. At the District level, Pujehun recorded the highest incidence of poverty. The profile also notes that female-headed households had higher multidimensional poverty rates (65.9%) compared to male-headed households. Guided by this survey, Zion A Happy Home Foundation adopted as objective to empower any individual who falls in the category of an underprivileged Sierra Leonean. We held conferences on empowerment at different locations in Sierra Leone as well as football matches via which we educated the less privileged on;

  • sustainable way to end their misery, poverty and hopelessness.
  • Poverty alleviation by getting them enrolled to learn a trade or into schools, apprenticeship schemes and empowerment centers.
  • Pledged to provide food and water supplies like we've been doing to underserved communities.
  • Petty trading. This petit trade they do will make them raise money and send their children to school and put food on their tables.
  • Our future plans of providing adequate shelter, food, and jobs for them.

We equally pledged to support the poor, street children and school drop outs return back to school.
So far we have succeeded in building businesses for 50 youths, who have now raise good capitals.
