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.

This is Mustapha* 🧡
Some of you may remember his brother, Abdul, who was also part of our programme. Sadly, Abdul passed away in July last year after collapsing unexpectedly. It was a heartbreaking time for the family.
Today, Mustapha is continuing to move forward. He lives with his mum and is now in his second year of an apprenticeship, learning to become an electrician.
It’s not always a straight path for the children we support. Life can be incredibly hard. But with encouragement, stability, and people who believe in them, young people like Mustapha are able to keep going and build a future for themselves.
To everyone who sponsors or supports children through The Fig Tree Children — thank you. Your kindness makes stories like Mustapha’s possible.

Meet Aminata* 💛
Life has not been easy for her. She lost her mother at a very young age and has since been cared for by a kind neighbour who stepped in when she needed it most.
A few years ago, she was diagnosed with sickle cell, and for a time her illness was misunderstood. But today, with the right care and support, she is back where she belongs — in school, learning and growing alongside other children her age.
Stories like hers remind us how important it is for children to have people around them who care, advocate, and believe in their future.
To the sponsors and supporters who make this possible — thank you. Your kindness gives children like her the chance to keep going, even when life has been incredibly difficult.
And if you’ve ever thought about sponsoring a child or making a donation, we’d love for you to join this journey.

Meet Saa* and Tamba* 🧡
These twin boys have already faced more challenges than most children ever should. When they were born, harmful cultural beliefs meant they weren’t welcomed the way every child deserves to be.
Today, they live with their mum in a small tin-roofed home. She works hard to care for them and their younger sibling, and through The Fig Tree Children, we’re able to support her so the boys can grow, learn, and simply be children.
Saa* and Tamba* are bright, full of life, and full of potential. What they need most is stability, opportunity, and people who believe in them.
To the sponsors who support children like Saa* and Tamba* thank you. Your kindness is quietly changing lives. 💛
And if you’ve ever thought about sponsoring a child or making a donation, maybe this is your moment.

There’s something powerful about knowing exactly where your support goes. 💛
For $53 a month, you can sponsor a child in Sierra Leone — helping cover school fees, uniforms, books, and providing a small monthly allowance for their carer.
It’s not just about education.
It’s about stability.
It’s about dignity.
It’s about giving a child the chance to grow up knowing someone believes in them.
These children don’t need saving.
They need opportunity.
If you’ve ever thought about sponsoring a child, maybe this is your moment.
Give an opportunity today.

A lot of what we do happens quietly, behind the scenes. 🧡
While children are going to school and carers are being supported, our team — Aminata, Massah and Jane are working on something just as important: making sure our programme is strong, sustainable, and clear about who we are and how we work.
We’re currently drafting a Programme Support & Sustainability Policy not because it sounds impressive, but because it matters. It matters that the children we support have stability. It matters that our community understands how decisions are made. And it matters that we’re building something that lasts.
Impact isn’t just about the visible moments.
It’s also about doing the groundwork properly.
Stay tuned! We’ll share more soon 🧡

We don’t always stop to look back… but sometimes we should.
As we step into this new year, we’ve taken a moment to reflect on what’s been possible over the last few years — and honestly, it’s because of you.
Between 2023 and 2025, 85 orphaned and vulnerable children and young people in Sierra Leone have been supported with education, care, and opportunity.
That’s 85 lives.
85 stories.
85 futures being shaped.
If you’ve ever donated, sponsored a child, shared a post, or simply cheered us on, this impact includes you.
If you’d like to see the difference you’re helping make, we’d love for you to take a look at our report here through the link in our bio.
Thank you for walking this journey with us. Truly. 🧡

Meet Jessie 🧡
Jessie joined our programme when she was just five months old. After her father abandoned the family, her mum was left to care for three children with very little support.
Through sponsorship, Jessie’s mum receives a small monthly allowance that helps her do petty trading and provide for her family. And last year, Jessie took a big step forward, she started nursery school, full of excitement and possibility. 🎒✨
This is what early support looks like. This is how futures are shaped.
There are many children like Jessie, and you can help make stories like hers possible.
🧡 Sponsorship starts at $53 AUD per month.

Behind every smiling face is a lot of care, planning, and commitment 🧡
Being ahead in programme funding means security for children, support for carers, and peace of mind for the teams working on the ground every day. It gives us the ability to respond when families need help, not later, but now.
This is what sustainable impact looks like.

This is Esther. 🧡
She was once abandoned as a baby, but today, she’s a happy 10-year-old, thriving at school and full of potential.
Her carer, a young woman with very little income, chose love, responsibility, and hope. And through The Fig Tree Children, Esther has received the support she needs to grow, learn, and dream of a brighter future. ✨
This is the power of education.
This is what compassion can do.
Thank you to everyone who supports children like Esther, you are changing lives. 🧡

Meet Michael. 💛
The youngest of four, Michael lost his father in a tragic accident when he was very small. Life became incredibly difficult for his family — but everything changed when he joined The Fig Tree Children in 2015.
Thanks to sponsorship, Michael now attends school with pride and hope. He’s thriving in JSS 1, and his mum uses the monthly allowance to run a small food business that helps support her children’s daily needs.
Education didn’t just open a door for Michael…
It changed the direction of his whole family’s future. ✨
You can help another child walk this same path of hope, stability, and opportunity.

This is Mustapha* 🧡
Some of you may remember his brother, Abdul, who was also part of our programme. Sadly, Abdul passed away in July last year after collapsing unexpectedly. It was a heartbreaking time for the family.
Today, Mustapha is continuing to move forward. He lives with his mum and is now in his second year of an apprenticeship, learning to become an electrician.
It’s not always a straight path for the children we support. Life can be incredibly hard. But with encouragement, stability, and people who believe in them, young people like Mustapha are able to keep going and build a future for themselves.
To everyone who sponsors or supports children through The Fig Tree Children — thank you. Your kindness makes stories like Mustapha’s possible.

Meet Aminata* 💛
Life has not been easy for her. She lost her mother at a very young age and has since been cared for by a kind neighbour who stepped in when she needed it most.
A few years ago, she was diagnosed with sickle cell, and for a time her illness was misunderstood. But today, with the right care and support, she is back where she belongs — in school, learning and growing alongside other children her age.
Stories like hers remind us how important it is for children to have people around them who care, advocate, and believe in their future.
To the sponsors and supporters who make this possible — thank you. Your kindness gives children like her the chance to keep going, even when life has been incredibly difficult.
And if you’ve ever thought about sponsoring a child or making a donation, we’d love for you to join this journey.
💛 Give a child an opportunity.

Meet Saa* and Tamba* 🧡
These twin boys have already faced more challenges than most children ever should. When they were born, harmful cultural beliefs meant they weren’t welcomed the way every child deserves to be.
Today, they live with their mum in a small tin-roofed home. She works hard to care for them and their younger sibling, and through The Fig Tree Children, we’re able to support her so the boys can grow, learn, and simply be children.
Saa* and Tamba* are bright, full of life, and full of potential. What they need most is stability, opportunity, and people who believe in them.
To the sponsors who support children like Saa* and Tamba* thank you. Your kindness is quietly changing lives. 💛
And if you’ve ever thought about sponsoring a child or making a donation, maybe this is your moment.
Give a child an opportunity.

There’s something powerful about knowing exactly where your support goes. 💛
For $53 a month, you can sponsor a child in Sierra Leone — helping cover school fees, uniforms, books, and providing a small monthly allowance for their carer.
It’s not just about education.
It’s about stability.
It’s about dignity.
It’s about giving a child the chance to grow up knowing someone believes in them.
These children don’t need saving.
They need opportunity.
If you’ve ever thought about sponsoring a child, maybe this is your moment.
Give an opportunity today.

A lot of what we do happens quietly, behind the scenes. 🧡
While children are going to school and carers are being supported, our team — Aminata, Massah and Jane are working on something just as important: making sure our programme is strong, sustainable, and clear about who we are and how we work.
We’re currently drafting a Programme Support & Sustainability Policy not because it sounds impressive, but because it matters. It matters that the children we support have stability. It matters that our community understands how decisions are made. And it matters that we’re building something that lasts.
Impact isn’t just about the visible moments.
It’s also about doing the groundwork properly.
Stay tuned! We’ll share more soon 🧡

We don’t always stop to look back… but sometimes we should.
As we step into this new year, we’ve taken a moment to reflect on what’s been possible over the last few years — and honestly, it’s because of you.
Between 2023 and 2025, 85 orphaned and vulnerable children and young people in Sierra Leone have been supported with education, care, and opportunity.
That’s 85 lives.
85 stories.
85 futures being shaped.
If you’ve ever donated, sponsored a child, shared a post, or simply cheered us on, this impact includes you.
If you’d like to see the difference you’re helping make, we’d love for you to take a look at our report here through the link in our bio.
Thank you for walking this journey with us. Truly. 🧡

Meet Jessie 🧡
Jessie joined our programme when she was just five months old. After her father abandoned the family, her mum was left to care for three children with very little support.
Through sponsorship, Jessie’s mum receives a small monthly allowance that helps her do petty trading and provide for her family. And last year, Jessie took a big step forward, she started nursery school, full of excitement and possibility. 🎒✨
This is what early support looks like. This is how futures are shaped.
There are many children like Jessie, and you can help make stories like hers possible.
🧡 Sponsorship starts at $53 AUD per month.
