FAQ

Frequently asked questions

We visit deprived communities in person, interview families and record their circumstances. That information helps us identify the children and needs that deserve attention most.

Head to our About page and open the Volunteer tab to fill in a short application. Our volunteer coordinator will get in touch to take it from there.

Every gift goes directly toward food, education, safe environments and long-term support for children who have very little — no contribution is too small.

We currently work across deprived communities in Freetown, Sierra Leone — including Kroo-Bay, Kaningo and Crab-Town — and we're steadily reaching more.
