Our mission

To protect, educate, and empower Sierra Leone’s children.

Who we are

Mission & vision.

A community-based non-profit established in Sierra Leone in 2022 — legally constituted, non-political, non-sectarian.

Children thrive best when their families are strengthened and their communities are supported to care for them. Guided by our constitution and by internationally accepted best practice in child care, we protect the most vulnerable children and help families become self-reliant.

Our vision

A Sierra Leone where every child has the opportunity to thrive, learn, and reach their full potential.

Our mission

To improve the lives of deprived and vulnerable children through education, protection, empowerment, and community development.

Our values

  • Child-centred care
  • Accountability & transparency
  • Community participation
  • Equity & inclusion
  • Sustainability

A word from our founder

No child in Bo District should have to choose between school and survival. That's why we exist.

Story

Simbaru

When school fees and materials were out of reach, families had to choose which child would keep learning. Today every supported child in Simbaru is enrolled and followed up through the school year.
