Faraba is an important border town in the Kailahun District of Eastern Sierra Leone, neighboring Guinea and located in the upper Mano River basin, and is a key trade node connecting Sierra Leone to Guinea. As the agricultural hub of the Eastern Province, the surrounding area is rich in cash crops such as coffee, cocoa, and palm oil, and the local market is known for its trade in handmade goods and agricultural products. The population of about 50,000 is multi-tribal and Creole and local languages are commonly spoken. Despite relatively weak infrastructure, its strategic location and agricultural potential make it an important player in the regional economy. In recent years, with the gradual revival of cross-border trade, Faraba's business dynamism has continued to increase, making it one of the most promising towns in eastern Sierra Leone.
