Hope Center for Community Stability
In October 2020, Sierra Cares Foundation received a generous donation that enabled the team to secure land for building our Community Center in a safe and central location, accessible to members of the Makeni Community and those within the Sierra Cares Program.
At Sierra Cares Foundation, we recognize that many women and children remain in poverty due to barriers to education and lack of access. While we are able to send our students to school, we also need to provide continued education for the women in our program to help them live independently and support themselves.
Hope Center serves as a safe space for repatriated women and vulnerable individuals in the Makeni community. It includes facilities for education in literacy, wellness, mental health, maternal health, and financial literacy. We own the land and have built a center that accommodates these educational initiatives while also serving as a community center. Additionally, we have garden property and have successfully brought water and electricity to this vulnerable community.
Our future goals include establishing a maternal and medical care site to address basic needs and resources related to pregnancy, healthy parenting, reproductive health, and care for survivors of sexual abuse. Sierra Cares Foundation is committed to empowering each woman, helping them recognize their value and worthiness as members of the Makeni Community.
Please consider donating to help us continue offering sustainable programs that strengthen and build this community.
100% of the funds donated to the Community Center go directly toward this project.
