CCET volunteers starting the Tree Nursery

As a U.S. based all-volunteer nonprofit, we partner with Sierra Leone community organizations to complete projects.  We support locally based groups in achieving their goals to strengthen and develop their communities.

Sherbro Foundation works closely with organizations to first understand community needs, and then define clear and achievable project objectives we can work on together. By partnering with well regarded local organizations to deliver projects, Sherbro Foundation is able to avoid overhead and ensure every dollar we receive goes directly to grass roots rural development in Sierra Leone.

We need trusted partners on the ground who share our objectives and can effectively deliver the nuts-and-bolts work, and do it with integrity.

The Sherbro Foundation is fortunate to have found such a partner in The Center for Community Empowerment and Transformation.  CCET is a local, all-volunteer group of Sierra Leoneans who organized as a nonprofit for the development of Rotifunk and Bumpeh Chiefdom as a whole. They are teachers and other people living and working in Rotifunk.

CCET is a group with a strong vision, and the capability and commitment to deliver on that.  Sherbro Foundation is fortunate to work with them and support their excellent lead.  Read more about them:  The Center for Community Empowerment and Transformation
