Sierra Leone
Formed in 2007, the Sierra Leone Federation was nurtured by the Sierra Leone Chapter of YMCA up until 2011 when the Federation of Urban and Rural Poor (FEDURP) was formed. Preset in 4 cities, including the capital Freetown, the federation is made up of 45 savings schemes with a membership of approximately 2,500 households. Over time the federation has built strong relationships with local government offices, along with the private and public sector. These relationships have resulted in both the Mayor and the Chief Administrator (CA) registering their support of the federation's work.
