Since our founding in 2023, RRDF has worked hand-in-hand with rural communities across Sierra Leone to tackle food insecurity, gender inequality, climate challenges, and more. Our grassroots approach, backed by data and community leadership, has already made a meaningful difference. Here are just a few of the milestones we’re proud of:
RRDF was built from the ground up by local changemakers who understand the realities of rural Sierra Leone. Our early efforts focused on listening, building trust, and designing inclusive frameworks rooted in local knowledge and shared purpose.
We began with deep listening and collaboration—building trust with rural communities to ensure every step reflects real needs and voices.
Founded by local change agents who know the challenges firsthand, RRDF empowers rural people to lead their own transformation.
We believe effective change begins with intentional planning. Every RRDF program is developed through community collaboration, local research, and long-term sustainability in mind, ensuring we deliver real results for those who need them most.
Every initiative is co-created with communities through inclusive planning, participatory mapping, and local consultations.
We rely on field data, surveys, and monitoring tools to design smarter, more sustainable rural development programs.
When rural communities face challenges, we deliver hands-on support backed by knowledge, compassion, and local collaboration. Our programs focus on long-term change, from food security to clean energy, led by the people we serve.
We deliver hands-on help—from farming tools to training—so families can improve their lives with dignity and self-reliance.
Whether it's clean energy for a village or a microloan for a woman-led business, our work directly impacts daily life in rural areas.
