FAFA – Franziska’s Agricultural Farmers Association (Sierra Leone)

  • Suyana started to support its first project with FAFA in Sierra Leone in September 2021. We are committed to improving access to primary school education for the children of the local communities in and around Worreh Yeama.
  • The goal of FAFA is to support the schooling of children from the poorest families out of the revenue generated through farming on their communal land, and to find a way to rehabilitate and register the derelict primary school. Their main motivation is to provide their children with education so that they can take their future into their own hands.
