Strides For Africa

Well Number Four in Kabala, Sierra Leone and more to come with Project 1808, Inc and Strides For Africa Madison, Wisconsin partnership. Our latest hand pump well at Karako Sokuralla Village, Kabala, Koinadugu District, Sierra Leone is the first of its kind for that community. Our #Project1808 Wata for Welbodi Initiative with Strides for Africa aims to bring clean potable water to disadvantaged communities in Koinadugu and Falaba Districts. At Project1 1808, we value practical solutions to everyday community problems and building collective success through a stronger me, families, and communities. We are making a difference one community, one region, and one country at a time. Many thanks to our team at Project 1808 and Strides for Africa Partners for building healthy communities through provision of safe drinking water.

Last week, I had the incredible experience of visiting Kabala, Sierra Leone with Feeding Mouths, Filling Minds and Strides For Africa. I was so deeply moved by the impact these two organizations are having on the local communities. I am proud to have been an active supporter, volunteer and board member over the past ten years. Seeing how just one water project benefited local children was simply amazing.
