About Brighter Horizons

Brighter Horizons is a Danish-Sierra Leonean non-profit organization, with a mission to help the most vulnerable members of the society in Sierra Leone. Our focus is on providing relief to vulnerable children, street girls and the disabled in Sierra Leone, and to raise awareness about pressing issues that these groups are facing.

The organization was founded in 2017 by Erik Rasmussen and Zora Saskova. Nevertheless, the X-prostitution and Inclusion-For-All projects run since 2012.
