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.

Johanatu* lives with her mum and her brother after losing their dad when they were very young. Life hasn’t always been easy, but through The Fig Tree Children programme, both siblings are being supported so they can continue their education and look toward a brighter future.
There’s something so hopeful about seeing a child holding their school supplies with pride. 📚✨
Because behind every notebook, school uniform, and opportunity to learn is a child with dreams, potential, and a future worth investing in.
To everyone who sponsors and supports children like Johanatu*, thank you. You’re helping children stay in school and believe in what’s possible. 💛
And for every child thriving today, there are more still waiting for their chance.

There was a time when moments like this felt impossible for Mariama 💛
Living with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Mariama once faced isolation and misunderstanding. School wasn’t always accessible, and opportunities to simply be included were limited.
But today? She’s no longer watching from the sidelines. ✨
At a recent inter-school sports meet, Mariama joined in with confidence, joy, and the kind of smile that says “I belong here.”
Seeing children like Mariama thrive reminds us why inclusion matters so deeply. Every child deserves the chance to learn, play, be seen, and feel celebrated — regardless of the challenges they face.
Stories like Mariama’s are possible because of the kindness of people who choose to care. To everyone who supports The Fig Tree Children, thank you for helping create opportunities where there once were none. 💛
And for every Mariama thriving today, there are still more children waiting for their chance.
✨ If you’d like to help us continue supporting vulnerable children in Sierra Leone, please consider sponsoring a child or making a donation. Link in bio.

14 young people are now at university, thanks to you 🧡
Open post by thefigtreechildren with ID 17987721227808076
Recently, we received the heartbreaking news that Alvin, a young man Jane met during her time in Sierra Leone, sadly lost his life in an accident.
Alvin was kind, thoughtful, and deeply caring. He quietly looked out for others, especially younger children, and had a natural way of making people feel safe and cared for. He loved football, dreamed big, and was just one year away from completing university already achieving incredible things in his studies.
His story is a reminder of something we see so often in Sierra Leone: so much talent, kindness, and potential that deserves to be seen, nurtured, and supported.
At The Fig Tree Children, we believe every child and young person matters. Every dream matters. Every life matters.
Today, we remember Alvin, a young man who touched lives and whose kindness will not be forgotten.
Please join us in keeping his loved ones in your thoughts.

This is Umaru* 🧡
A few years ago, Umaru* lost his mother during devastating floods in Sierra Leone. Since then, he has been cared for by his grandmother, who loves him deeply but simply could not afford to send him to school.
Today, thanks to support through The Fig Tree Children, Umaru* is now in school and doing well. 🧡
Sometimes the biggest change in a child’s life starts with something simple:
the chance to learn.
To everyone who sponsors and supports children like Umaru, thank you. Your kindness is helping children move forward after unimaginable loss.
And there are still more children waiting for the same opportunity.

Our Movie Night Fundraiser — The Devil Wears Prada 2, was a beautiful success with 60 amazing attendees and $1,545 raised to support these children and young people in Sierra Leone.
Every ticket, every raffle, every moment shared that night is helping provide education, care, and opportunity for brighter futures.
From all of us at The Fig Tree Children, thank you for being part of something so meaningful.
A special thank you to Isabelle Torralba, Sabine Armbruster, Jeremy Davies, and Carol from The Shoe Garden. We truly couldn’t have done it without you 🤍

Meet Mariatu* 💛
She lives with her dad, who once sold his only sewing machine just to keep food on the table and make sure she could stay in school.
He never had the chance to be educated himself and he’s determined that his daughter will.
That kind of love… it says everything.
Through The Fig Tree Children, we were able to replace his sewing machine and support them both, helping him get back on his feet while making sure Mariatu* can continue her education.
Sometimes, it’s not about changing everything.
It’s about stepping in at the right moment and helping a family keep going.
To everyone who supports children like Mariatu* — thank you. 💛
And if you’ve ever thought about helping a child stay in school, we’d love to have you be part of this.

Meet Haja* 💛
Haja* has been cared for by her great-grandmother since she was very young. Life hasn’t been easy, and while her mum has now been found, she’s not in a position to provide the support Haja* needs.
So her great-grandmother continues to do what she can and through The Fig Tree Children, we step in to help carry that weight.
Because no child should be left without support.
Haja* is still young, still full of potential, and still deserving of the same opportunities as any other child — to go to school, to feel safe, and to dream about her future.
To everyone who supports children like Haja*, thank you. Your kindness makes a quiet but powerful difference. 💛
And if you’d like to be part of this…
🎬 We’re hosting a Movie Night fundraiser to help us continue supporting children like her.
Come along, bring a friend, and be part of something meaningful.

Meet Adama* 💛
Adama lost both of her parents at a very young age and is now being cared for by her aunt, who is doing her best to provide for her alongside her own children.
Life hasn’t been easy but if there’s one thing about Adama*, it’s this: she loves to dance.
And she dances so well.
Even in the middle of hardship, she still finds joy, still finds rhythm, still finds a way to just be a child.
With support, children like Adama* are able to stay in school, grow, and keep that spark alive.
To everyone who sponsors and supports, thank you. You’re helping protect not just their future, but their joy too. 💛
And if you’d like to be part of this…
We’re hosting a Movie Night fundraiser — a simple, fun way to help us continue supporting children like Adama*.
Come along, bring a friend, and help us make a difference.

Johanatu* lives with her mum and her brother after losing their dad when they were very young. Life hasn’t always been easy, but through The Fig Tree Children programme, both siblings are being supported so they can continue their education and look toward a brighter future.
There’s something so hopeful about seeing a child holding their school supplies with pride. 📚✨
Because behind every notebook, school uniform, and opportunity to learn is a child with dreams, potential, and a future worth investing in.
To everyone who sponsors and supports children like Johanatu*, thank you. You’re helping children stay in school and believe in what’s possible. 💛
And for every child thriving today, there are more still waiting for their chance.

There was a time when moments like this felt impossible for Mariama 💛
Living with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Mariama once faced isolation and misunderstanding. School wasn’t always accessible, and opportunities to simply be included were limited.
But today? She’s no longer watching from the sidelines. ✨
At a recent inter-school sports meet, Mariama joined in with confidence, joy, and the kind of smile that says “I belong here.”
Seeing children like Mariama thrive reminds us why inclusion matters so deeply. Every child deserves the chance to learn, play, be seen, and feel celebrated — regardless of the challenges they face.
Stories like Mariama’s are possible because of the kindness of people who choose to care. To everyone who supports The Fig Tree Children, thank you for helping create opportunities where there once were none. 💛
And for every Mariama thriving today, there are still more children waiting for their chance.
✨ If you’d like to help us continue supporting vulnerable children in Sierra Leone, please consider sponsoring a child or making a donation. Link in bio.

14 young people are now at university, thanks to you 🧡
Recently, we received the heartbreaking news that Alvin, a young man Jane met during her time in Sierra Leone, sadly lost his life in an accident.
Alvin was kind, thoughtful, and deeply caring. He quietly looked out for others, especially younger children, and had a natural way of making people feel safe and cared for. He loved football, dreamed big, and was just one year away from completing university already achieving incredible things in his studies.
His story is a reminder of something we see so often in Sierra Leone: so much talent, kindness, and potential that deserves to be seen, nurtured, and supported.
At The Fig Tree Children, we believe every child and young person matters. Every dream matters. Every life matters.
Today, we remember Alvin, a young man who touched lives and whose kindness will not be forgotten.
Please join us in keeping his loved ones in your thoughts.

This is Umaru* 🧡
A few years ago, Umaru* lost his mother during devastating floods in Sierra Leone. Since then, he has been cared for by his grandmother, who loves him deeply but simply could not afford to send him to school.
Today, thanks to support through The Fig Tree Children, Umaru* is now in school and doing well. 🧡
Sometimes the biggest change in a child’s life starts with something simple:
the chance to learn.
To everyone who sponsors and supports children like Umaru, thank you. Your kindness is helping children move forward after unimaginable loss.
And there are still more children waiting for the same opportunity.

Our Movie Night Fundraiser — The Devil Wears Prada 2, was a beautiful success with 60 amazing attendees and $1,545 raised to support these children and young people in Sierra Leone.
Every ticket, every raffle, every moment shared that night is helping provide education, care, and opportunity for brighter futures.
From all of us at The Fig Tree Children, thank you for being part of something so meaningful.
A special thank you to Isabelle Torralba, Sabine Armbruster, Jeremy Davies, and Carol from The Shoe Garden. We truly couldn’t have done it without you 🤍
Meet Mariatu* 💛
She lives with her dad, who once sold his only sewing machine just to keep food on the table and make sure she could stay in school.
He never had the chance to be educated himself and he’s determined that his daughter will.
That kind of love… it says everything.
Through The Fig Tree Children, we were able to replace his sewing machine and support them both, helping him get back on his feet while making sure Mariatu* can continue her education.
Sometimes, it’s not about changing everything.
It’s about stepping in at the right moment and helping a family keep going.
To everyone who supports children like Mariatu* — thank you. 💛
And if you’ve ever thought about helping a child stay in school, we’d love to have you be part of this.

Meet Haja* 💛
Haja* has been cared for by her great-grandmother since she was very young. Life hasn’t been easy, and while her mum has now been found, she’s not in a position to provide the support Haja* needs.
So her great-grandmother continues to do what she can and through The Fig Tree Children, we step in to help carry that weight.
Because no child should be left without support.
Haja* is still young, still full of potential, and still deserving of the same opportunities as any other child — to go to school, to feel safe, and to dream about her future.
To everyone who supports children like Haja*, thank you. Your kindness makes a quiet but powerful difference. 💛
And if you’d like to be part of this…
