Building Stronger Communities Through Agriculture

Community empowerment in action

Community Impact

Ma Nyande Women's Development Organization (MNWDO) transforms communities in Sierra Leone by empowering women and youth through agriculture, health, and economic initiatives. Operating in rural areas like Bo and Falaba Districts, we foster food security, nutrition, and sustainable livelihoods through cooperative farming, market access, and community-driven programs.

Our initiatives include school feeding programs to provide markets for women farmers, health screenings for breast cancer and HIV in hard-to-reach areas, and youth engagement through agricultural innovations like poultry and fish farming. By aligning with Sierra Leone’s Feed Salone initiative, we strengthen local economies and promote gender equality in agriculture.

  • School Feeding Programs – Connecting women farmers to local schools for reliable markets and improved child nutrition.
  • Community Health Screenings – Providing critical health services in 29 communities, in partnership with UN Women and UNAIDS.

In collaboration with partners like UN Women, the Ministry of Agriculture, and the World Food Programme, MNWDO has impacted thousands of lives by integrating agriculture with community development. Our work ensures women and youth lead in creating resilient, self-sustaining communities.

By combining agriculture, health, and education, MNWDO creates lasting change, empowering communities to thrive sustainably.
