Our Focus
Putting Children First
An estimated 41% of Sierra Leone’s population—roughly 2.9 million people—is under 15 years old, while about 4.4 million are under 25. While progress is evident in various sectors, widespread poverty and inequality still hinder millions of children from reaching their full potential.
That’s why we work to connect children with the people, institutions, and resources they need to grow up healthy, educated, skilled, and safe. Through our programs, we aim to reach 2.5 million children and their families across Sierra Leone every year.

In response to Sierra Leone’s rising youth unemployment, our youth development program delivers skills training, mentoring, and livelihood support. These measures enable young people to turn challenges into opportunities, promoting income generation and sustainable
livelihoods.
Our Work
Health, Education, Skills and Safety - For Every Child.
Unlocking a child’s full potential begins with meeting their holistic needs. That’s why we take a whole-child approach, focusing on health, education, skills, and safety, to support children from early years to young adulthood.
We work with children, youth, families, communities and governments to drive lasting change. Our programs are proven and scalable, centering communities as leaders and change-makers. In the 12 districts where we are already making a difference, we are creating models that can be replicated across all of Sierra Leone.
