The greenlimba Team
The greenlimba Team
The German founders of greenlimba, Marion von Oppeln and Lars Bessel. We live and work alternately in Kamakwie (Sierra Leone, Karene District) and in Nortorf (Wilstermarsch). Even though the change of worlds is often very exhausting, it is the basis for the fact that we reliably plant forests.
In the Karene district, our Head Quarter, Anthony Jacob Turay leads the team (left), supported by Saidu Sesay (right). The two perfectly combine local knowledge of both man and nature, pedagogical talent, expertise and, above all, they have long dreamed of a return of the rainforest.
Our tree nursery team takes great pleasure in caring for the young trees. Under the leadership of Prince Ibrahim Bangura (right), there is always something to laugh about and always something to eat.
Our team in the Moyamba district, where we are planting forests in cooperation with Welthungerhilfe, is young and motivated. The local project manager is Idrissa Kanu (right) with his colleague Thomas Mattia and his colleague Marilyn Harding.
greenlimba is a non-profit organization. The gGmbH is registered in the German commercial register as a non-profit organization (NPO) under the number HRB 16511 PI, the Foundation is registered in the Karene District / Sierra Leone under the number KarDC/LNGO/24/05 as a non-governmental organization (NGO). With our commitment, we are confident that we are fulfilling goals 8, 13 and 15 of the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
The greenlimba gGmbH in cooperation with the greenlimba Foundation Sierra Leone (GLFSL) combine climate protection with development aid. Since 2017, the management team, consisting of Marion von Oppeln and Lars Bessel, has regularly spent months on the ground in Sierra Leone to oversee the work of the team there.
We provide detailed annual reports in Germany and Sierra Leone on our work and the donations used for it. We are proud cooperation partners of the Federal Foreign Office and Welthungerhilfe.
