HELP US TO EMPOWER INDIVIDUALS AND COMMUNITIES
TO PROSPER AND BECOME TRULY SELF-RELIANT
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 EVERYONE
BUT 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.
Kære alle
Det har været en meget turbulent periode for vores lille organisation. Vores tidligere leder og bestyrelsesformand, Erik Rasmussen, har igennem en længere periode, været forfulgt af OperationX og det har haft alvorlige konsekvenser for vores vigtige arbejde i Sierra Leone og ikke mindst for alle de vidunderlige mennesker, for hvem vi dagligt arbejder på at forandre livet for. Mennesker der kæmper en daglig kamp for overlevelse i et af verdens fattigste lande. Erik Rasmussen har åbent og ærligt fortalt os om TV2/OperationX’s kritikpunkter af ham, og både Erik og os i bestyrelsen valgte for snart 2 måneder siden at Erik trådte ud af bestyrelsen. Vi var enige om, at det var for belastende for vores organisation, hvis han forsat var en del af den. Selvfølgelig tager vi som organisation afstand for de udtalelser, som der vil blive præsenteret i OperationX’s dokumentar, selvom vi også er kritiske overfor TV2’s arbejdsmetoder.
Vi ønsker Erik alt det bedste fremover og takker for den store indsats, han igennem årene har ydet i vores projekt. Men vi ser også frem til at få ro omkring vores, samt vores lokale partneres vigtige arbejde i Sierra Leone. Når alt kommer til alt er det her vores fokus og vores energi vil blive lagt fremadrettet. Ny formand for foreningen er Zora Saskova, som også er medstifter af Brighter Horizons Project. Hun har desuden et indgående kendskab både til landet, projektet samt til vores lokale partnere.

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.
