Belmore is a happy guy who love to play football, despite the fact that he has polio in his leg.
However, in September 2015, Belmore’s family was hit by Ebola and in around a month,
all the members were wiped out by the dreaded disease. -
WE CAN'T HELP EVERYONEBUT WE CAN HELP SOME
After the 11 years of civil war, many kids were left without parents and had to do anything
in order to survive. The desperate situation in the country escalated again after the Ebola
outbreak in 2014 which left more than 15.000 kids orphaned, and many became
completely abandoned on the streets.

OUR PROGRAMMES
SKILL TRAINING CENTER
Every year we give free education in tailoring hair dressing and computer lessons to more than 50 young women for free, to make them able to have better opportunities in life.
INCLUSION FOR ALL
The disabled in Sierra Leone are marginalized politically and face discrimination in their communities. They are highly stigmatized, don’t have access to jobs and are forced to beg to survive.
TALENT PROGRAMME
There are many children in Sierra Leone who, despite lack of family relations, poverty and a very hard upbringing, have opportunities to succeed if they get the chance.
