Humanitarian Support to Sierra Leone – ReadyWise Donates Funds to FSL Secondary School Meals Program
ReadyWise UK, a global leader in emergency food supplies, is proud to support the FSL Secondary School in Sierra Leone with a donation that will help provide daily nutritious meals for all 230 students. The initiative ensures that children in the region have access to proper nutrition — a vital foundation for learning, focus, and long-term success.
For Sierra Leone e.V., the German based charity behind this initiative, operates the FSL Secondary School in Freetown as part of its broader mission to promote education and community development. Many families in Sierra Leone struggle to afford breakfast or packed lunches, which makes the school’s daily warm meals essential to students’ health and education. Proper nutrition enables children to attend class consistently, concentrate on their studies, and reach their full potential.
This year, the project receives an inspiring boost from Tim Kremer, who is embarking on a 5,000-km cycling journey from Cádiz, Spain, to Freetown, Sierra Leone, including 1,600 km across the Sahara Desert. His two-month expedition — crossing Morocco, Mauritania, Senegal, and Guinea — aims to raise awareness and funds for For Sierra Leone e.V. and the FSL Secondary School, helping to create lasting change for children in the Madamba community.
“Education is only possible when basic needs are met,” said Kim Berknov, Director & VP EMEA at ReadyWise UK. “By contributing to this program, ReadyWise is helping to nourish the next generation — turning preparedness and care into real, lasting impact for communities in need.”
“This ride is about more than endurance — it’s about giving children the chance to learn, grow, and dream,” added Tim Kremer, fundraiser and long-time supporter of For Sierra Leone e.V. “Every kilometer reminds me that a small effort in one part of the world can mean a meal, a classroom, or a future for someone else.”
