Our Programs
LemonAid Fund has a proven track record since 1999 in working directly with educators and social entrepreneurs to implement needed projects in Sierra Leone. The accomplishments of the LemonAid Fund include support for the construction of 14 schools (including the Ceres Foundation Library Project); increasing the educational resources available to a network of twelve schools and two foster care centers; partnering with Luther College and Stanford University on our Forgiveness Project using evidence-based research in training for over 600 adults and 2000 students; creating one of Sierra Leone’s few school libraries/resouce center; and partnering with World Computer Exchange and RESPECT to bring two hundred computers to ten schools and youth groups.
Additionally, due to LemonAid Fund’s support, over two thousand children have accessed quality education yearly, fourty children are currently direct beneficiaries of scholarships and over twenty people have received micro-loans or micro-enterprise start-ups. LemonAid Fund has also worked closely with the Government of Sierra Leone and UNICEF on early childhood education, life skills training, and prevention of HIV/AIDS’s and child protection initiatives. Additionally, we are working with the Forum Against Harmful Practices (FAHP) representing 20 organizations to help stop Harmful Traditional Practices (HTPs), especially Female Genital Mutilation (FGM). Our most recent efforts have successfully linked The Chicago School of Professional Psychology to LemonAid Funds with twenty students engaging in the support of projects in Sierra Leone.
