Quaker Peace Networks West Africa is a recently formed  small charity which aims at relieving poverty and looking at ways of preventing violence in communities across West Africa. Our first area of work is the Rokel area which is east of Freetown Sierra Leone. more

We have interested people in Ghana and Liberia who are also asking for us to work with them but lack of funding has prevented this so far.

We aim to look at whole communities and work with local people to raise their living standards and give hope by involving them in decision making.

In the Rokel  area we are currently building a clinic and digging wells and developing a peace and education centre. We are collecting books in the UK and hope to develop a library.
