Finn Church Aid (FCA) has decided to shut down its country programmes in Liberia and Sierra Leone by the end of 2017. Over the past year we have worked hard to find new donors in both Liberia and Sierra Leone, but have not been adequately successful. The latest humanitarian operation was the distribution of relief packages to victims of landslides and floods in Sierra Leone in late 2017. In Liberia, FCA will conclude its EU-funded project to train prison staff and communities and promote the rights of prisoners to legal counsel. In Liberia and Sierra Leone, Women’s Bank supported vulnerable girls and women in obtaining livelihoods, for example by providing vocational education and entrepreneurship training.
