The Fig Tree Children has been helping orphans in Sierra Leone since October 2014. Our efforts provide love, care and education for orphaned children, ‘one child at a time’.
The Ebola epidemic reopened old wounds and created a second wave of orphans following the devastation of the ten year Civil War. A staggering 12,000 children have now been left orphaned. Some have found homes with extended families, but thousands risk exploitation, discrimination and malnutrition.
Our efforts are focused in Sierra Leone where we provide a monthly allowance to the sponsored child’s carer and we pay the school fees directly to the school they attend, through donations and direct child sponsorship.

While other children packed their school bags, she stayed home doing chores.
Meet Musu*.
As a young girl, Musu* was brought from her village to the city with the promise of an education.
But that promise was never kept.
While other children headed off to school each morning, Musu* stayed behind doing household chores. She watched as the other children completed their homework each evening, quietly hoping that one day she would have the chance to learn too.
Despite everything, she never stopped believing that she belonged in a classroom.
Through the support of The Fig Tree Children and our sponsors, Musu* was finally given that opportunity.
Today, she is a proud Senior Secondary School science student, working hard towards a future that once felt impossible.
That’s why education matters. ❤️
Because somewhere in the world, there is a child sitting on the sidelines, not because they lack potential, but because they lack opportunity.
Musu’s* story reminds us that when we invest in a child, we don’t just change one life.
We unlock a future.
To everyone who sponsors and supports children like Musu* — thank you. Your generosity is helping turn broken promises into brighter futures.
If you’d like to help another child access education and opportunity, we’d love to have you join us. Click the link in bio!

✨ In a world where everyone feels busy, this is your invitation to slow down.
Christmas in July isn’t just about the food.
It’s about gathering around a table with people you may know, people you may not know yet, and sharing an evening that feels warm, welcoming, and meaningful.
Over the years, Christmas in July has become one of our favourite events.
We’ve shared stories, laughter, good food, new friendships, and conversations that linger long after the night is over.
For a few hours, people from different walks of life come together for one simple reason: to connect and make a difference.
This year’s theme is A Shared Table.
A reminder that some of life’s best moments happen when we pause, sit down together, and enjoy good company.
And while we’re enjoying a beautiful meal, we’ll also be helping create brighter futures for vulnerable children and young people in Sierra Leone.
💛 Good food.
💛 Great company.
💛 A meaningful cause.
We’d love you to join us.

This is what happens when a child is given the chance to go to school. 🧡
Meet Augusta*
Years ago, Augusta* was a little girl with big dreams but limited opportunities. Like many vulnerable children in Sierra Leone, her future was uncertain.
But someone chose to believe that her circumstances did not have to define her future.
Through sponsorship, education, and ongoing support, Augusta* was given the opportunity to stay in school, continue her studies, and pursue her dreams.
Today, she is in her final year of a Bachelor of Science in Nursing at Njala University and is preparing to dedicate her life to caring for others.
One day, she hopes to provide healthcare to vulnerable communities, support mothers and babies, and inspire other young girls to believe in what is possible for their own lives.
And that’s why this work matters.
When you educate a child, you don’t just change one life.
You strengthen families.
You uplift communities.
You create future leaders, carers, and changemakers.
Augusta’s story is proof that a child’s beginning does not have to determine their destination.
💛 If you’d like to help more girls like Augusta* stay in school and reach their potential, consider sponsoring a child or supporting our work.
Because every child deserves the opportunity to dream, learn, and thrive.

At 9 years old, he was one step away from losing everything.
Today, Abubakaar* is a first-year university student studying Mass Communication at Fourah Bay College in Sierra Leone.
But his journey to get here wasn’t easy.
When Abubakaar* was a child, his mother disappeared while trying to escape overwhelming debt. Left behind and facing an uncertain future, he was taken in by a neighbour who cared for him as her own.
Tragically, she later passed away during childbirth.
Once again, Abubakaar’s* world was turned upside down.
For many children, circumstances like these can end their education before it even begins.
But thanks to the support of sponsors and donors, Abubakaar* was given something every child deserves:
Stability.
Education.
Opportunity.
Hope.
Over the years, we watched him grow from a vulnerable young boy into a determined and ambitious young man.
Today, he is studying Mass Communication and dreams of using his voice to tell the stories of vulnerable people, challenge injustice, and advocate for those who are often unheard.
And that’s what makes child sponsorship so powerful.
It doesn’t just help a child survive today.
It helps create the teachers, nurses, journalists, business owners, and leaders of tomorrow.
Abubakaar’s* story is proof that a child’s circumstances do not have to determine their future.
If you’d like to help more children access education and opportunity, we’d love to have you join us.
Every child deserves the chance to dream bigger.

One day, she’ll be the nurse caring for someone in need.
Meet Augusta*, one of The Fig Tree Children’s long-standing beneficiaries in Sierra Leone.
Today, Augusta* is a final-year nursing student at Njala University and is just months away from graduation.
But her story didn’t start here.
Like many of the children and young people we support, Augusta* faced significant challenges growing up. Through the support of sponsors and donors, she was able to stay in school, continue her education, and pursue her dream of becoming a nurse.
Now, she’s preparing for a future dedicated to helping others — caring for the sick, supporting mothers and babies, and serving her community.
This is why education matters.
Not because it changes a single day.
Because it changes an entire future.
Every child deserves the opportunity to discover what they’re capable of. Every child deserves the chance to dream beyond their circumstances.
Today, Augusta* is proof of what becomes possible when someone believes in a child and invests in their future. ✨
If you’d like to help more children and young people in Sierra Leone access education and opportunity, we’d love to hear from you.
💛 Sponsor a child or support our work through the link in our bio.

This is why we gather every year. 💛
Behind the food and conversation, Christmas in July is something much bigger. Children and young people in Sierra Leone being given opportunities they may not otherwise have.
Opportunities to go to school.
To learn.
To feel supported.
To dream about a future that feels possible. ✨
The Fig Tree Children supports vulnerable children and young people through education, care, and practical support helping them navigate incredibly difficult circumstances and move toward brighter futures.
And the truth is, none of this happens alone. It happens because of community. Because people choose to show up. Because people care.
That’s exactly what Christmas in July – A Shared Table is about. A beautiful evening of good food, meaningful connection, and shared purpose.
Come share a table with us and help create opportunities for children who need them most. 💛

While other children packed their school bags, she stayed home doing chores.
Meet Musu*.
As a young girl, Musu* was brought from her village to the city with the promise of an education.
But that promise was never kept.
While other children headed off to school each morning, Musu* stayed behind doing household chores. She watched as the other children completed their homework each evening, quietly hoping that one day she would have the chance to learn too.
Despite everything, she never stopped believing that she belonged in a classroom.
Through the support of The Fig Tree Children and our sponsors, Musu* was finally given that opportunity.
Today, she is a proud Senior Secondary School science student, working hard towards a future that once felt impossible.
That’s why education matters. ❤️
Because somewhere in the world, there is a child sitting on the sidelines, not because they lack potential, but because they lack opportunity.
Musu’s* story reminds us that when we invest in a child, we don’t just change one life.
We unlock a future.
To everyone who sponsors and supports children like Musu* — thank you. Your generosity is helping turn broken promises into brighter futures.
If you’d like to help another child access education and opportunity, we’d love to have you join us. Click the link in bio!
