How a farming programme in Sierra Leone helps amputees rebuild lives
A farming initiative in Sierra Leone, founded by Mambud Samai, teaches amputees sustainable farming techniques, helping them grow food, generate income, and regain independence. The program, which began after Samai’s experience as a refugee and his efforts to support amputees through sports, now provides hands-on training and resources for participants to establish their own agricultural projects. Many graduates have successfully started community farms and developed innovative tools, such as a bamboo wheelbarrow, to improve accessibility and productivity. The initiative has provided a path to dignity and economic stability for amputees affected by the country’s civil war.
