Mabintyโ€™s presence in the classroom is more than symbolic. She incorporates music into her lessons, making learning engaging and accessible. In rural farming communities, where children may be pulled from classes for seasonal work, her methods help keep students on track.

Teaching also transformed Mabinty herself. โ€œI was a shy person, but when I started teaching, the time I took in the classroom built my capacity,โ€ she says. โ€œI am now bold, and I am proud to stand in public and talk.โ€ Read more here: https://www.care.org/news-and-stories/leading-with-purpose-shaping-the-future-in-sierra-leone/

We hosted a special all female screening in Tombo engaging with the women of the fishing industry including fish processors and boat owners because women are actually the key drivers of the fishing industry but due to customs often do not speak or share openly in male dominated spaces. We truly wanted to allow women the opportunity to fully express themselves in a closed environment free from the men and to talk about the issues that are particular to them.

Octopus Energy and SAP intend to build a wind farm on Sherbro Island, signifying the introduction of renewable energy in Sierra Leone. The farm will first consist of up to five wind turbines and solar panels which will generate clean energy for the local communities, according to Reuters.

More than just merely producing clean energy, the turbines will also collect vital data, which Octopus Energy states, will be instrumental in galvanizing future investments in renewable energy on the island.

The introduction of renewable energy in Sierra Leone has the potential to bring about a significant transformation in the West African nation
