We are a dedicated and concerned group of individuals in the United States, United Kingdom, and Sierra Leone. We are committed to improving the well-being of orphans and vulnerable children in Sierra Leone.
We come from various professional backgrounds: academia, medicine and other health professions, journalism, business, public accounting, public administration,architecture, information technology, and others.
To facilitate successful outcomes for orphans and vulnerable children in Sierra Leone by providing them a stable and safe home environment, nutritious meals, quality education and health care, psychosocial support, opportunities for spiritual and character development, and by protecting them against abuse and exploitation.
Our actions at the House of Caring are guided by a sense of honesty, fairness, respectability, humility, discipline, enterprise, dignity, integrity, compassion and courage. We encourage our children at the House of Caring to embrace our values.
We guide the success of the children of Sierra Leone West Africa, who have been orphaned or made vulnerable because their parents or primary caregivers died during the Ebola Virus Disease epidemic, from HIV/AIDS, the 2017 Mudslides and other tragic events.
Before our children come to us, they have likely experienced many more risks and negative outcomes than their peers because of their inability to access education, healthcare and protective services. They may also have experienced social isolation because of stigma and discrimination.
