Friends of Freetown

Thank you for visiting this page. Where projects require items that are difficult or expensive to source in Sierra Leone, we invite donations in kind. For these items, instead of providing monetary grants, Friends of Freetown will fund the shipping costs.

We are currently looking for:

• Science equipment and resources for the Kate McGrath School for Girls.
• Laptops for Mercy Children’s Home and Adonkia Village School/Community IT classes.
• Sewing Machines, fabric, scissors needles, threads etc. for Adonkia Village tailoring training centre. Hand-crank or pedal powered sewing machines are especially welcome as each graduate is given a gift of a sewing machine at the end of the training programme to enable them to start their own small business. However, many do not have electricity and so non-electric machines are ideal.
• Desks and Chairs for Adonkia Village School.
• Stationary items, children’s books and educational toys for Adonkia village school.
• Dental chair and basic equipment for Gbongay Village Clinic.
