Sierra Leone’s civil war ended in 2002, and the effects of this shockingly brutal time leave scars both physically and emotionally on many people throughout the country and in Tombodu specifically. We hope our work will help heal the community through supporting the younger generations. We want to help those born into inter-generational poverty the same opportunity so they can be successful and break the poverty cycle. This help and support in the course of their studies can transform minds and enable young people to become self-reliant and productive citizens of their society. In addition to our work in education, The Treetop Foundation also focuses on developing the town through building projects to provide a safe and sustainable place for people to live. The charity pays all administration costs, including staff through other ventures, meaning that those in need receive the entirety of all donations. We also provide feeding programmes at The Treetop Academy and UMC Tombodu Primary school. Though our main focus is education, we strive to ensure vulnerable people have access to food through our food programs.
