Harvard College Sierra Leone Initiative

About us

HCSLI is formed with the belief that there are many resources here at Harvard and beyond that could totally change the lives of people within less resourceful countries, especially Sierra Leone.
In addition, we also know that such interaction will alter the experiences of Harvard students in a way classrooms cannot. Hence, the win-win situation for both the students and the locals in Sierra Leone cannot be overstated.
Though we are initially focused on health related issues (specifically malaria prevention), there is an enormous amount of flexibility within the group and our projects could be related to education, technology, arts or social empowerment. We hope that HCSLI will expand into a platform that can educate the Harvard Community about SL.
