Sierra Leone Building Works

Sierra Leone Mission (SLM) would like to say a huge thank you to all of those who supported a funding appeal at the Conference for new toilets at Bethesda Orphanage. This has enabled work to be carried out at the end of last year, in time for Christmas. Amazing!
Over the past couple of years SLM has started to address issues concerning the school buildings in Sierra Leone. New buildings erected by the local communities have needed roofs, windows, verandas, ceilings and paintwork. Five schools needed to be cleared of termites and one school collapsed just after a new structure was completed. To date nine schools have been improved and another new school has been constructed
The work we do is only possible with the receipt of donations and we are very grateful to the people who support us in our endeavour to improve the lives of so many children in Sierra Leone.
Projects for 2025
The school at Foo Foo Water is now showing signs of collapse. The local community came together to build a three-classroom block last year, which was completed by SLM in the summer. But whilst this construction was much needed, it unfortunately, isn't large enough to accommodate all of the children who now attend Foo Foo. Hence, our next project is to construct a new school building on adjacent land, as we did at Tombo.
To achieve this aim we prayerfully ask our supporters to consider whether they might be able to help.
In addition, the school at Mongegba needs help to improve and repair their nursery structure, which is far from adequate. The Sunday School at Goring Free Church has been raising money for this cause, but more funds will be needed.
The number of children attending our schools has escalated over the past few years. This is an excellent response to Christian outreach, but the expansion is also proving to be a challenge.
