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.

In Sierra Leone, these incredible women cooked Groundnut Soup—a rich and flavorful dish—for 28 children and us, using nothing but basic tools and pure dedication. And let me tell you—it was delicious! 🤤

Food is more than just sustenance. It’s a reflection of resilience, community, and love. Every meal they prepare ensures these children are nourished and cared for, despite the challenges they face daily.

Groundnut Soup is my favorite Sierra Leonean dish! Let’s celebrate the beauty of cultural cuisine and the strength behind every meal.
