      <image:title>NEWS - World Humanitarian Day: Get to know One Village Partners’ Country Director - What are you most looking forward to as you begin your role as Country Director?</image:title>
      <image:caption>As I begin my role as Country Director, I’m most looking forward to deepening partnerships with the communities we serve, our donors, and the incredible team at One Village Partners. I’m eager to listen deeply and reflect on how we continue to engage with rural communities, accompanying and resourcing them in ways that lead to transformational and lasting change. I’m especially excited to support and amplify the leadership of rural communities as they define “development” on their terms, shaping the accompaniment model that reflects the realities of rural communities and which meet them at the point of their organizing and uphold that leadership with care and respect.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>That’s why we sat down with Lossie Konneh, our passionate Community Action Supervisor to learn more about what drives him. From packed Mondays and community visits to his passion for Pan-African leadership and community-led development. In this candid conversation, Lossie shares what’s fuelling his vision for 2025, why Kono District is full of promise, and how weekends are just as much about growth as they are about rest. For Lossie, this year isn’t just busy, it’s transformational.</image:caption>

At One Village Partners, we believe in the transformative power of community-led solutions grounded in the wisdom, priorities, and collective determination of rural communities to create impactful, lasting wellbeing. Thanks to your generosity and partnership, this year, we are expanding our reach across Kono district and beyond. Together, we are empowering women in our partner communities to boost their income and food security, uniting communities to work to improve access to clean drinking water, sanitation, and education, and nurturing the next generation of leaders to build a more equitable future for all. Every contribution you make, whether funds, time, or trust, would help fuel this transformative work. With your support, we are not just meeting our goals, we are unlocking the resilience and potential of these partner communities, transforming lives, and building a more resilient and prosperous future. This is the future of sustainable development: by the community, for the community, led by the people, for the people. Thank you for trusting and standing with us!</image:caption>

      <image:title>NEWS - Reflection and Gratitude for 2020 - 1) We responded to COVID-19 with compassion, discipline, and with our community partners in mind.</image:title>
      <image:caption>When COVID-19 began impacting the lives of individuals in our partner communities, we immediately applied lessons learned from Ebola, which had gravely affected many of our community partners. We collaborated with community and regional partners to learn what communities needed – and so we provided handwashing stations, masks, and food delivery services to more than 30,000 people in the region. We partnered with a nearby hospital to rehabilitate the nurses ward into a quarantine center, so people could quarantine in a safe space. We quickly trained our existing network of volunteer-leaders about COVID-19, so they in-turn could educate fellow community members on prevention and mitigation. To date, we are grateful that no one in our partner communities has contracted COVID-19. Lockdowns in Sierra Leone began in early April and were lifted mid-summer, so for over three months programming was on hold. When we could, our team and partners jumped right back into work, with zeal and dedication to community-led transformation.</image:caption>

      <image:title>NEWS - Reflection and Gratitude for 2020 - 2) Nearly 200 women were empowered with financial skills.</image:title>
      <image:caption>When our team resumed operations, the Nurturing Opportunities for Women (NOW) team was able to adapt and implement safety guidelines into training sessions. With social distancing and masks, women were still able to receive valuable training on budgeting, saving, and basic business skills. We are so proud of this year’s 184 NOW graduates – they persisted during a challenging year and are now skilled in financial literacy and business management, skills that are more important than ever in a time when women in rural communities are more negatively impacted by the pandemic and corresponding global recession.</image:caption>

      <image:title>NEWS - Reflection and Gratitude for 2020 - 3) Communities took action to improve wellbeing.</image:title>
      <image:caption>After a few months delay in construction, seven communities completed projects with Community Action, solving self-defined challenges and improving wellbeing: 4,000 children, women, and men aren’t getting sick as often today because of sanitary latrines, handwashing stations, and water wells that were constructed in three communities. And four communities constructed projects for agricultural productivity – rice milling machines, seed banks, dry floors, agricultural storage facilities, and farmers’ trainings are increasing incomes and food security for over 6,000 people.</image:caption>

      <image:title>NEWS - Reflection and Gratitude for 2020 - 4) Volunteer-leaders led development in communities where we have long-standing partnerships.</image:title>
      <image:caption>In 2020, we continued with piloting the Lead program, where volunteer-leaders in partner communities that have completed both Community Action and NOW were trained on proposal writing and received grant money to implement projects in their communities. In the community of Grima, the labor ward of the Maternal and Child Health Clinic was rehabilitated, which will increase and improve services for expectant mothers in Grima and the surrounding villages. In Mamboma, a community skills training center was outfitted, better preparing the youth in the community and surrounding area for gainful employment.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Despite all the challenges of this year, we were still able to officially expand to a new geographical area and open an additional hub in the town of Daru. Bombohun, about two and half miles from Daru, is our first new community partner out of the new office. They have already started trainings in the Community Action program and plan to construct 30 latrines and handwashing stations for community-wide access and use in the new year. We are excited to begin NOW trainings in Bombohun and partner with more communities in the Daru area throughout 2021.</image:caption>

      <image:title>NEWS - Reflection and Gratitude for 2020 - 6) OneVillage Partners staff remained healthy, safe, and employed.</image:title>
      <image:caption>In such a tumultuous year, we are incredibly grateful that our entire staff in both Sierra Leone and the United States, as well as their families, did not fall ill. We are also thankful that despite the significant challenges to fundraising this year, we were able to keep on all staff members and continue doing the critical work of economically empowering women and promoting community-led development.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>As is typical in Sierra Leone, Grima’s leadership was restricted to men from traditional ruling families; women held just two leadership positions in 2015 when the community started working with OneVillage Partners. Women were not allowed at certain community meetings and they were excluded from decision making. The notion of women as leaders was not a part of Grima’s culture.
