Starting up the rice mill just after dawn in Seduya. The rice mill was installed by World Renew partners Christian Extension Services. Until the arrival of the mill all rice had to be hulled by hand with large mortar and pestles. The mill has improved the quality of life for the women who had to mill rice by hand every day.
The small village of Seduya, Koinadugu is in a remote district of Kabala province, in northern Sierra Leone, an area heavily affected by the civil war in the 1990s. Working with partner Christian Extension Services, World Renew is helping the village with agricultural trainining to improve harvests and with sanitation and clean water supply.
