How village partnership helps a rural village in Sierra Leone increase family strength and wellbeing.

In Fengehun Village, traditional palm oil processing was a day-long, labor-intensive task. With new processing machinery, the community has boosted production from 3 bottles per day to 10 bottles per hour.

Beyond the numbers, this means:

⚙️Machines do the heavy lifting of stripping the fruit.

🐂 Chaff feeds the livestock, and nuts are turned into palm nut oil.

⛑️ Safer, more sustainable future for everyone.

This isn’t just about oil; it’s about more time for families, safer environments for children, and new income to fund village projects like wells and latrines. The future in Fengehun is looking bright!
