Saffie Koroma, Lunsar, Sierra Leone

Saffie Koroma and her husband Foday have been invaluable partners to Just Hope in Lunsar, Sierra Leone, graciously inviting us into their community and facilitating our work there to train and equip pastors and their families.

Saffie was a child when the Sierra Leone Civil War erupted, and a young mother before it was over. The trauma of the 10-year war has lingered with all those who remember it, but remarkable people like Saffie are a testament to the resilience and goodness of people amidst chaos and terror.

Encouraging women

During our leadership visit, Just Hope Founder Karen Bruton and Ashley Turner, wife of Just Hope President Ben Turner, spoke to a special women’s conference held primarily for the Baptist Pastors Wives Association of Sierra Leone, a group of about 50 women who traveled to Lunsar from all over the country. The conference theme was “Encouraging Women,” and it most definitely did that. Employees and locals liked seeing that we all have a woman boss! That alone spoke volumes about our belief in the ability of women to lead their communities. Read more about our work with women in Sierra Leone, and Ashley's personal account of the conference.
