World Vision International Sierra Leone is set to launch the
ENOUGH Campaign.

Press Release: Monday, July 8th, 2024
World Vision International Sierra Leone, as part of the World Vision International Partnership, is planning to launch a three to five-year campaign called "ENOUGH". The ENOUGH Campaign is a major initiative designed to raise awareness about the critical issue of child hunger and malnutrition in Sierra Leone, with the aim of reaching 3,500,000 children. World Vision International Sierra Leone is planning to mobilize and invest $1,500,000 for the next three to five years. This is a programmatic and advocacy campaign with the primary goal of ending child hunger and malnutrition.

The Sierra Leone campaign launch is set to occur on July 9th, 2024, at the Bintumani Hotel in Freetown and will be led by the Minister of Agriculture, Forestry, and Food Security.

The ENOUGH campaign is in line with the Sierra Leone government's Medium Term National Development Plan 2024 - 2030 which has 'Feed Salone' as the flagship programme and Human Capital Development as one of the ‘big five’ game changers. The "Feed Salone" initiative aims to boost agricultural productivity to fuel inclusive growth, increase local food production, reduce the country’s dependence on food imports, decrease hunger, increase export earnings, create jobs, and build a resilient food system.
As World Vision International Sierra Leone we anticipate ENOUGH political will, ENOUGH policies, and ENOUGH resources to ensure that every child not only survives but also has access to sufficient nutritious food to thrive. With the ENOUGH campaign, we desire to advocate for accelerated progress in efforts to address child hunger and malnutrition across the country. We are committed to mobilizing and working with stakeholders at all levels in this unprecedented campaign, to build a Sierra Leonean society where every girl and boy is nourished and thrives. Every child deserves the food he or she needs to develop a healthy body and mind. Every family deserves to be able to put ENOUGH of the right food on the table.
The ENOUGH campaign in Sierra Leone is part of continental and global World Vision initiatives connected to Sustainable Development Goal 2 (Zero Hunger). It also includes a drive to improve data collection systems at national and global levels so children can be reached with support and have their voices heard in shaping key policies and outcomes.
The World Vision’s global campaign is premised on the principle that children’s right to adequate food must be respected, protected, and fulfilled and that no child should go to bed hungry. It is a response to the challenges brought about by climate change, conflict and the cost of food increasing the number of children in need of aid.
We have had ENOUGH of child hunger and manlutrition but we believe there is ENOUGH nutritious food for every child.
