02 Activities

What the charity does

The Trustees have individually supported Sierra Leone since the end of the civil war in 2002. We work primarily with the Christian Community Church Mission in SL to provide support for education, health, and general well-being to children and adults in Sierra Leone. We also work with some primary schools to improve young children's English skills.
