To provide shelter and education to orphans

Sierra Leone in the recent past has taken a big stride to rebuild the minds of people with significant
improvements on peace building and social developments. This community was ravaged and citizens remained in hostages by rebels for sex slaves, hard labor etc for nearly ten years during the civil war. Hundreds of parents were killed by rebels, or died out of untreated diseases related to malaria, cholera, or HIV/AIDS.

The decade long civil war in Sierra Leone, left thousands of people impoverished, thousands lost their lives, or suffered acts of cruelty in the form of rape, child slave, and amputations with machetes for intimidation.

There is great need for attention of underprivileged kids and youths living in remote communities, especially community like Pujehun district which is situated in the south, bounded by the Atlantic Ocean in the west and Liberia in the East.
