MP Hawa Kallon Turns Agriculture Into a Community Movement in Southern Sierra Leone

The Member of Parliament for Makpele and Sorogbema Chiefdoms, Hon. Hawa Akpajie Kallon, has intensified agricultural support in her constituency through her “Operation Feed Your Community” initiative, aimed at promoting food security and improving livelihoods.

The initiative complements President Julius Maada Bio’s Feed Salone programme by supporting farmers through the provision of financial assistance, improved seedlings, land preparation support, and access to mechanized farming equipment.

Hon. Kallon said food security remains one of her top priorities, noting that meaningful development cannot be achieved when people struggle to feed themselves. She explained that she has provided tractors and other farming machinery, while also hiring equipment to help farmers complete land preparation on time due to Sierra Leone’s seasonal farming conditions.
