Arlene Golembiewski, Executive Director & President of the Sherbo Foundation of Sierra Leone was the speaker at Rotary Club of Ann Arbor North's Luncheon on September 6, 2018.
Sherbro Foundation uses all volunteers with the mission of helping rural Sierra Leone move from poverty to self-reliance through education and economic empowerment.
The Ann Arbor Rotary Club contributed $10,000 and coordinated grant contributions from six other Rotary Clubs: Ann Arbor North, Dexter and Ypsilanti in Michigan; plus Cincinnati, Wilmington, N.C. and Pune, India. Rotary District #6380 and the Rotary International Foundation provided matching funds for this two-year global grant. This grant has provided:
The goal is to fund education savings accounts opened for newborns, which parents can continue grow with their own savings. By the age of twelve, a child will have money for their secondary school education. While fruit trees mature, orchards are inter-planted with annuals crops of rice, couscous, corn and vegetables for short term operating income.
The chiefdom records births of newborns and prepares affidavits to exchange for government birth certificates. Government birth registration doesn’t reach this inaccessible rural area. CCET-SL facilitates securing legal birth certificates for these babies.
Parents of newborns will receive fruit trees to grow for income they can save for their child’s education, reviving an old tradition with a modern goal.
The grant has created seven forest preserves to protect drinking water sources, wildlife and trees to benefit of future generations. These will be the first locally organized preserves in Sierra Leone, as Bumpeh Chiefdom strives to protect its all-important natural environment and counteract climate change.
Arlene said, "Thanks to our grant this project has done all this great work."
This is an invitation from Ayo's Village to invite any Ann Arbor North Member to the 10th Anniversary of our joint venture called the Micro Finance Project in Nigeria with Rotary Club of Gbagada.
