When the U.S. Embassy closed one door, MESA opened another. Ibrahim M. is a former Sierra Leonean child soldier turned agroecology leader. We tried to bring him to the U.S. as a ‘SAGE’ Steward this year - but global politics forced us to reimagine partnership.
MESA is supporting Ibrahim and Sierra Leone’s Kola Nut Producers Association to grow climate-smart coffee and community resilience.
