On Friday 21 November, Mayor Yvonne Aki-Sawyerr OBE inaugurated the newly completed mural paintings at the Kissy Road Cemetery. She expressed deep appreciation to The Carter Center for its continued support to Freetown City Council and highlighted the initiative’s focus on sanitation and access to information.

Funded through The Carter Center’s Inform Women, Transform Lives campaign, the project engaged muralist Morrison Jusu, whose creativity brought the powerful messages on the cemetery walls to life. The murals promote women’s right to information and encourage them to utilise key municipal services, including the toll-free line #8244 for waste management information.

Representing The Carter Center, Yeama Thompson reaffirmed the organization’s commitment to helping FCC expand public access to information and commended the initiative’s impact. As part of other activities, FCC also carried out a community cleaning exercise at the Kennedy Street Market another effort supported by the Inform Women, Transform Lives project to reinforce cleaner, healthier public spaces.
