Sierra Leone Climbing out of poverty

Sierra Leone is still affected by the civil war that ravaged the country year 1991-2002. In 2011 Swedfund invested together with seven Development Finance Institutions in Addax Bioenergy, a project including development of greenfield sugarcane estates, the construction of an ethanol refinery and a biomass fuelled power plant. Addax Bioenergy is dedicated to do this in close cooperation with the local society and the surrounding environment.

In this movie you meet three people living in the Sierra Leone countryside, listen to their story.
