In the Nimikoro Chiefdom, several abandoned pits situated less than five meters to a main road had become still water ponds, subject to overflooding in the rainy season. Peace Diamonds reclamation successfully created .6 hectares of arable land where ROK 3 rice (a rice variety developed for sustainability at the Rokupa Rice Research Institute in Sierra Leone) is now cultivated.

Located in the Gbense Chiefdom, this site is an inland valley swamp containing six abandoned mining pits as deep as 3.6 meters. Gardening of cassava and corn took place on the periphery of these pits with limited success before restoration. Peace Diamonds reclaimed .1 hectares for growing Konso beans.

The Grace International School is situated between two separate abandoned artisanal mining sites containing seven hazardous pits. Some were flooded and became breeding grounds for disease-carrying mosquitoes. Others, as close as five meters to the recreation field, were hollow, and school proprietor Rev Kamara feared that pupils could wander near the pits and fall. Peace Diamonds reclaimed .5 hectares of land on which cassava and rice are now being cultivated.

This site in the Gbense Chiefdom housed numerous mined out pits, some as close as 5 meters to the main road and approximately 30 meters to the Yeigbeda host village. On .4 hectares of land reclaimed through the Peace Diamonds Restoration Initiative, a variety of green vegetables, potatoes, and rice are now being cultivated to fill local food demands.

In the Nimikoro Chiefdom, a large mined-out pond prevented crop cultivation on otherwise fertile lands. Instead, women and children from the neighboring community used the stagnant water for laundry, fishing, and swimming. Peace Diamonds provided guidance, tools, and support to local community members who backfilled the flooded pits and are now cultivating rice on the newly-arable land.
