Equipping Leaders in Sierra Leone

In June, Hope Ventures partnered with Rescue The Suffering (RTS) and Love My Neighbor (LMN) to equip local leaders who are raising up entrepreneurs in their own communities.

At RTS, six newly trained business trainers are mentoring entrepreneurs to grow businesses like tailoring, food stores, and private schools. A new business loan fund launching this fall will help the top five expand—creating jobs and strengthening families.

RTS trainer Patricia Sesay receives her Advanced Business Essentials certificate from Tendai, Hope Ventures’ Africa Director.

Meanwhile, LMN is preparing a micro-lending program to benefit 60 farmers and entrepreneurs. Trainers are combining practical business skills with discipleship, reminding participants through the parable of the mustard seed that faith and small beginnings can grow into something great.

Thank you for planting these seeds of transformation!
