Current Projects Overview
Our Projects
At the Elegguá Project, we run community-driven initiatives that blend Indigenous knowledge with ecological restoration. Our core projects include sustainable beekeeping to support local livelihoods, a school garden launching in 2025 to teach agroecology to youth, and the creation of Sierra Leone’s first Indigenous Botanical Garden dedicated to native plant conservation and healing. Each of these projects is powered by regenerative farming practices and strong partnerships—like our collaboration with Bees for Development—to build a greener, healthier future for all.
