In the northeast of Sierra Leone, we are now beginning the construction of a nursing school. The graduates are to be deployed in rural areas in the future, helping to improve local healthcare – including in our four health stations.
Since early August, a new health station has been operating in Durukoro, a remote village in northeastern Sierra Leone – the fourth in the Falaba District. This marks an important step toward the goal of the Sierra Leonean health authority to ensure that everyone has access to medical care within ten kilometers.
The Junior Secondary School in Yarawadu is complete. The construction process shows why community projects sometimes take longer - and why we still choose this approach.
In our projects in Malawi and Sierra Leone, we continuously face the same challenge: How can we construct durable and functional buildings in the most environmentally friendly way possible? The answer led us to a construction technique that combines traditional mud building methods with contemporary processing technology: Soil Stabilized Blocks (SSB).
We are celebrating a key handover in Sierra Leone: we are delighted to report on the opening of the new junior secondary school in Tambia Balia.
We wish you a Merry Christmas! Our long-time employee Bala from Sierra Leone tells us about his journey in this year's Christmas greeting. Just like us, he has the motivation to make a difference!
Im Februar 2023 starteten die Grünhelme mit dem Bau der Gesundheitsstation in Bamboria. Nach erfolgreicher Fertigstellung innerhalb von nur 8 Monaten konnte diese feierlich der Community übergeben werden.
Seit 2018 sind durch unsere Arbeit bereits vier Schulen im ländlichen Sierra Leone entstanden. Bei Besuchen haben wir uns nun davon überzeugt, wie die Gebäude angenommen werden.
Anfang 2022 starteten die Grünhelme den Bau einer Gesundheitsstation im Ort Mansonia. Vor einigen Wochen konnte sie nun feierlich der Community übergeben werden.
Helle Wände, moderne Sanitäranlagen und großzügige Räume: Die erste Gesundheitsstation in Sierra Leone ist nach gut einem Jahr Bauzeit fertiggestellt. Die zwei Krankenschwestern haben schon alle Hände voll zu tun.
