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.

Meet Hawa* 💛
She lost both of her parents at a young age and was left in the care of her elderly grandmother, living in a small thatch-roofed home in a remote village. Life was especially difficult during the rainy season, and school simply wasn’t possible.
But Hawa* had something special. She was bright, determined, and eager to learn.
With support, everything began to change.
Today, Hawa* is no longer just a girl with potential — she is now on placement in a hospital as a nurse. 🩺✨
From a small village with no access to school… to caring for others and saving lives.
This is what opportunity looks like.
To everyone who sponsors and supports children like Hawa*, thank you. Your kindness creates futures like this. 💛
And there are more children still waiting for their chance.

Meet Fatu* 🧡
Fatu* lost both of her parents at a very young age. After her father passed away during the Ebola crisis, she was taken in by a close friend of her mother, someone who cared deeply for her, but simply didn’t have the means to support her education.
That’s where this community stepped in.
Today, Fatu* is no longer just a young girl trying to get by, she is now at university studying Business Administration (Procurement). 🎓
It’s a powerful reminder of what support can do. One opportunity can change the direction of a life.
To everyone who sponsors and donates, this is your impact. Thank you for being part of Fatu’s journey.
And there are more children like Fatu*, still waiting for that same chance.
If you’d like to help change a life through education, see the link in the comments.

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.
If you’d like to help give another child or young person an opportunity, you can support our programme by clicking the link in bio. 🧡

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.

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.

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.

Meet Hawa* 💛
She lost both of her parents at a young age and was left in the care of her elderly grandmother, living in a small thatch-roofed home in a remote village. Life was especially difficult during the rainy season, and school simply wasn’t possible.
But Hawa* had something special. She was bright, determined, and eager to learn.
With support, everything began to change.
Today, Hawa* is no longer just a girl with potential — she is now on placement in a hospital as a nurse. 🩺✨
From a small village with no access to school… to caring for others and saving lives.
This is what opportunity looks like.
To everyone who sponsors and supports children like Hawa*, thank you. Your kindness creates futures like this. 💛
And there are more children still waiting for their chance.

Meet Fatu* 🧡
Fatu* lost both of her parents at a very young age. After her father passed away during the Ebola crisis, she was taken in by a close friend of her mother, someone who cared deeply for her, but simply didn’t have the means to support her education.
That’s where this community stepped in.
Today, Fatu* is no longer just a young girl trying to get by, she is now at university studying Business Administration (Procurement). 🎓
It’s a powerful reminder of what support can do. One opportunity can change the direction of a life.
To everyone who sponsors and donates, this is your impact. Thank you for being part of Fatu’s journey.
And there are more children like Fatu*, still waiting for that same chance.

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.
If you’d like to help give another child or young person an opportunity, you can support our programme by clicking the link in bio. 🧡

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.

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.
