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.

Since 2015, we’ve been working to change lives in Sierra Leone — one child at a time. 🌍💛
Thousands of children were left vulnerable after war and the Ebola crisis. Through The Fig Tree Children, they’re now given the chance to go to school, grow up in safe homes, and build brighter futures.
🎒 We pay school fees directly to schools.
💡 We support carers who nurture and protect these children.
🌱 We believe every child deserves a chance to thrive.

Meet Mariama Turay 💛
Her father was a hero — a member of the Ebola burial team who lost his life to the virus. After his passing, Mariama’s family struggled to survive.
Through sponsorship with The Fig Tree Children, Mariama was finally able to attend school and dream again. When we met her and her mother, they were sleeping on the floor — but thanks to your support, they now have a safe home, a bed, and new hope for the future.
Today, Mariama’s mother sells fish cakes at her school to help support them — a small business made possible through the allowance she receives as part of our program.
This is the power of sponsorship.
It’s not just about education — it’s about dignity, opportunity, and hope. 🌍

💔 For the first time in ten years, we’re behind.
Our program manager in Sierra Leone has been receiving calls late into the night from carers and children, worried about being sent home from school because their fees haven’t been paid. Some carers have used their small business funds or even borrowed money to help, believing we’d be able to pay by month’s end. But the truth is… we simply don’t have the funds right now.
It’s heartbreaking. Education is everything for these children, it’s their chance to build a brighter future.
We are short by $2,800. Normally, our sponsors’ generosity would cover the fees, but rising costs, both here and in Sierra Leone, have stretched us further than ever before.
If you can help, even with a small donation, it will go directly toward paying school fees so that no child is sent home.
Every dollar helps, and your support means the world.
🎓 Donate here: https://thefigtreechildren.org/donations/donationform/
🙏 Thank you for standing with us, especially when times are toughest.
*one of the children in our programme on her way to school. This girl suffers from sickle cell and we’ve been helping her with her treatment and medication. These are costs we can’t say no to. Not when a child’s life is at risk.

Every child deserves a chance to dream. ✨
For many children in Sierra Leone, the difference between a life of hardship and a life of hope is one sponsor. Sponsorship provides education, support, and dignity, giving children the tools to thrive.
🧡 You can be that reason.
📚 Sponsor a child today and help create a brighter future.
We currently have 5 young people in our programme who need a sponsor. Please send an email to: [email protected] and request details if you are interested.

Little Agnes is on the road to recovery 🌸
Seven-year-old Agnes was in danger of losing her foot, or worse, when her carer bravely reached out for help.
Thanks to the kindness of five people who came together, we were able to get her to the hospital. After two days of care, the swelling has gone down considerably. She is being monitored and is now on the road to recovery 🙏🏻
This wasn’t part of The Fig Tree Children’s programme, just a little side step. But how could we possibly say no?
💛 $260 covered everything: transport, doctor’s fees, medication, hospital care and food. That’s all it took to save a child’s foot… and perhaps her life.
Agnes is just one of many children who too often slip through the cracks in this deeply inequitable world.
I’ve always dreamt of creating an emergency medical fund, not only for the children in our program, but also for those in the wider community. If enough people gave just a little each month, together we could provide a safety net for moments like this. Imagine the difference we could make 🌍✨
If we started an emergency fund for cases such as this, who’d be willing to contribute?

🌼 Meet Mary 🌼
Mary is just two years old. She lives with her disabled grandmother in Sierra Leone, who cannot walk and struggles to care for her. Mary’s young mother, caught in the grips of kush addiction, is unable to provide for her and has distanced herself from her child. At one point, when Mary was only six months old, there was even talk of selling her for a small amount of money, a heartbreaking measure of desperation! 💔
Despite all this, Mary is full of life. She is bright, bold, and energetic, a little girl with promise, surviving against the odds thanks to the kindness of neighbours and the occasional support of relatives. Her grandmother does her best, but daily life is a struggle, and food is not always guaranteed.
Mary will turn three this October, which means it’s time for her to start kindergarten. Now we have support, that opportunity, the chance to learn, to belong, and to build a brighter future, is all within this little girl’s reach.
At The Fig Tree Children, we believe every child deserves the dignity of education, care, and hope. Mary is no exception. Now she’s part of the Fig Tree programme, this little poppet can now take her first steps into school, and towards the life every child deserves. 🧡
And all for just the cost of two cups of coffee a week:

As the new school year begins in Sierra Leone, 83 children in our program are preparing to walk into their classrooms with pride, purpose, and the tools they need to succeed.
However, this year has been a challenge. School fees and materials for all 83 children total more than $12,000, and this year we’ve had no choice but to prioritise those who are most in need. When all of the kids in our programme are in need, that is not an easy task.
Every child deserves the dignity of showing up to school with shoes, a bag, a uniform, books, and pens. That’s what a gift of $85 provides for one child. Even a smaller contribution makes a real difference when added together.
We are still working towards making up the shortfall, as we don’t want to let these children down. With your help, we won’t.
🙏 Will you help us close the gap today?

Together, we can ensure every one of these 83 children starts school this year with hope and dignity.

Earlier this year, a container packed with love, learning, and life-changing supplies made its way from Brisbane to Freetown, Sierra Leone. 📦✨
With the help of incredible partners and supporters, we filled it with:
📚 Books and learning materials
🧩 Toys, puzzles, and games
💡 SolarBuddy lights for safe night study
💻 Digital education tools
🧼 24,000 bars of soap from Soap Aid
🩺 Medical supplies from Save Our Supplies
Each item is now in the hands of children and families who need them most—because of YOU.
We’ve already raised $2,500 of the $3,500 shipping cost—but we’re still $1,000 short.
Will you help us close the gap? Your donation directly supports the safe delivery of these essential resources.

Meeting the children we support through The Fig Tree Children is always deeply moving. It reminds us that real change doesn’t come from grand gestures alone — it comes from consistent, compassionate action. It comes from choosing to show up, even from across the world.
Every child deserves the opportunity to thrive. To be seen. To be supported.
If you believe in the power of education, care, and opportunity — we invite you to stand with us. Sponsor a child. Become part of their story.

Since 2015, we’ve been working to change lives in Sierra Leone — one child at a time. 🌍💛

🎒 We pay school fees directly to schools.
💡 We support carers who nurture and protect these children.
🌱 We believe every child deserves a chance to thrive.

Meet Mariama Turay 💛
Her father was a hero — a member of the Ebola burial team who lost his life to the virus. After his passing, Mariama’s family struggled to survive.
Through sponsorship with The Fig Tree Children, Mariama was finally able to attend school and dream again. When we met her and her mother, they were sleeping on the floor — but thanks to your support, they now have a safe home, a bed, and new hope for the future.
Today, Mariama’s mother sells fish cakes at her school to help support them — a small business made possible through the allowance she receives as part of our program.
This is the power of sponsorship.
It’s not just about education — it’s about dignity, opportunity, and hope. 🌍

💔 For the first time in ten years, we’re behind.
Our program manager in Sierra Leone has been receiving calls late into the night from carers and children, worried about being sent home from school because their fees haven’t been paid. Some carers have used their small business funds or even borrowed money to help, believing we’d be able to pay by month’s end. But the truth is… we simply don’t have the funds right now.
It’s heartbreaking. Education is everything for these children, it’s their chance to build a brighter future.
We are short by $2,800. Normally, our sponsors’ generosity would cover the fees, but rising costs, both here and in Sierra Leone, have stretched us further than ever before.
If you can help, even with a small donation, it will go directly toward paying school fees so that no child is sent home.
Every dollar helps, and your support means the world.

🙏 Thank you for standing with us, especially when times are toughest.
*one of the children in our programme on her way to school. This girl suffers from sickle cell and we’ve been helping her with her treatment and medication. These are costs we can’t say no to. Not when a child’s life is at risk.
Every child deserves a chance to dream. ✨
For many children in Sierra Leone, the difference between a life of hardship and a life of hope is one sponsor. Sponsorship provides education, support, and dignity, giving children the tools to thrive.
🧡 You can be that reason.

Little Agnes is on the road to recovery 🌸
Seven-year-old Agnes was in danger of losing her foot, or worse, when her carer bravely reached out for help.
Thanks to the kindness of five people who came together, we were able to get her to the hospital. After two days of care, the swelling has gone down considerably. She is being monitored and is now on the road to recovery 🙏🏻
This wasn’t part of The Fig Tree Children’s programme, just a little side step. But how could we possibly say no?
