Our Projects

1. SLCU Constitutional Review

The SLCU constitution has been proven to be too flexible, making it vulnerable to indiscipline and contempt from its members. To bring sanity, order and discipline, the SLCU executive is reviewing the constitution to give both the executive and the general members the mandate to enforce the rule of law. In this regard, the SLCU had organized two workshops on the 12/05/07 in Rotterdam and another on the 14\9\07 in Leiden to discuss and analyze all governing articles in the constitution.

An invitation letters has been posted to all organizations to attend the third workshop to take place on the 27/10/07 in Utrecht.

2. Port Loko District Vocational school project

Sierra Leone despite its vast mineral resources today has been classified to be the poorest country in the world. Internal, regional and macro economic development is worsening the situation, leaving untold human suffering in the country after the war. Our plan is to facilitate the development through resource mobilization.to support our country. As a result, the SLCU is planning this year to support the construction of a vocational institute in Port Loko district.

The content of the school should be determined by the people in the district based on an assessment survey. Therefore, the secretariat has recommended that, at least 2 people within the SLCU development committee be sent to Sierra Leone to conduct thorough research on the issue and present recommendations to the SLCU about their findings.

3. SLCU Peace Caravan

The peace caravan is part of our plans this year to meet, discuss and share ideas with Sierra Leonean living and working in different municipalities of the country. The aims of this tour are:

To discuss and understand individual and collective problems with members of the Sierra Leone Union in different communities;
To cement relationship with the sister unions;
To sensitize Sierra Leonean on the role, functions and projects of the SLCU.

The delegation hopes in the first place, to give a clear picture of the SLCU to Sierra Leone union members and secondly, prepared to discuss, guide and analyse information received during this tour. This information would be used for our future planning in organizing programs geared towards promoting and serving the needs of Sierra Leonean living both here and at home.
