Activista Sierra Leone successfully launched the HungerFREE campaign in Freetown, Sierra Leoneon Saturday 23rd June 2007, in collaboration with civil society organisations and youth networks. Hunger is a serious problem in Sierra Leone. About 70% of the population are poor and about 26% are food poor, meaning about 1.5 million persons out of the country’s 5 million people, cannot afford to feed themselves. Activista Sierra Leone has regional Activista groups all over the country. Volunteers have made music events and gone together in a HungerFREE caravan gathering voices and demands from small holder farmers.
Poor farmers in 21 villages in the Magbema Chiefdom, District of Kambia, Northern Sierra Leone have lost their land to a road construction company known as CSE. They received no compensation. With the 2009 planting season gone, there is a possibility that 10,000 people will go hungry in 2010 if the situation is not addressed.
Activista Tour
