Strengthening Young Environmental Champions in Sierra Leone!

Today, the BLP Sierra Leone (BLPSL) team visited Yelisanda Community Secondary School in Gbanti Chiefdom, Bombali District, to hold a school assembly and engage with classrooms as part of our flagship program, “Our Environment, Our Future.” Students actively participated as we discussed environmental stewardship, waste management, and the importance of reforestation. We also held a productive reassessment session with the school’s Environmental Club to review progress, celebrate achievements, and align on the program's next steps.

These moments of interaction continue to inspire and equip young people with the knowledge and confidence to become true environmental champions. Our program now reaches 13,300+ students across 15 schools in Sierra Leone (and 24 in Cameroon), and 2,900+ saplings have been planted. We remain committed to nurturing a generation that protects and restores our environment.
