Voters Education, November 2006
The 2007 Elections in Sierra Leone pose a great opportunity for the population to participate in the democratic process. With successful execution of the activities planned by the Network, we are confident that we will maintain democratic stability in the country. Our past performance demonstrates that we have extensive knowledge, outreach mechanism and experience in executing effect programs in Sierra Leone.

Real Change Fund
The Real Change Fund is an effort by Sierra Leoneans to raise money for victims of the war in Sierra Leone. In Helping Our Peoples Empowerment, we try to deliver H.O.P.E. Broadly speaking every Sierra Leonean is a victim of the 11 yr civil conflict. Some are more victims than others, one manifestation being the uniquely unpleasant feature of the fairly random amputation of over 3000 non-combatants including women and little children. Acts of sexual violence and torture are also unfortunate recurring themes of the war.

Truth and Reconciliation Committee
The SLN as a founding member of the Civil coalition for truth and reconciliation, organized a civil society Convention "where are we now?" to take stock of and highlight the need for progress on implementation of the recommendations of the Sierra Leone Truth and Reconciliation Commission which was established to address the principal caused and consequences of the countries 11 year civil conflict.

This event drew participation from the government, parliament and diplomatic community as well as a special appearance by UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador Angelina Jolie, who led an 8 person delegation to meet with HE the President.

Lumley Cleanup Project , March 2004
This project was a massive success and one that has not only been hailed by the
people of Lumley as the most thorough and competent cleanup operation to have
ever taken place in their community, but one that has far wider reaching implications
as it has captured the imagination of the entire capital as well as hundreds of Sierra
Leoneans abroad.
