Sierra Leone: WFP's Food for Work Helps Restore Schools in Sierra Leone

press release

The Food For Work programme participants - about 20 volunteers per school - have just started getting their food rations for their school cleaning work. An important exercise since some of the schools were used as centres for Ebola patients.

People from all walks of life - traders, teachers, parents - stepped up to make sure the schools were cleaned, decontaminated and ready for the opening. In exchange, they received a one-month supply of rice and oil, and had the satisfaction of helping to rebuild their communities.
