Disability Empowerment Movement Sierra Leone

Dear Community,

Today, I humbly reach out to ask for your support as we work to meet our fundraising goal. This fundraiser has a clear and heartfelt purpose: to establish a safe home for children with disabilities.

These children are among the most marginalized in our society. Our mission is to provide them with access to education, proper nutrition, medical care, and a loving, secure environment—essentials every child deserves.

Please consider donating or simply sharing this message with others who may be willing to help. Every act of kindness brings us closer to building a brighter future for these children.

In just under three weeks, I will attempt to swim across one of America’s highest and deepest lakes, Lake Tahoe, to raise money for 25 extraordinary children struggling with disabilities in Sierra Leone (https://demsl.org/). Lake Tahoe is 6,225 feet above sea level and the temperature rarely gets above 65F. Will you help make this swim worthwhile? https://www.zeffy.com/en-US/o/fundraising/campaigns/hub?formId=6ca68eea-bdd4-4f3d-801d-2d5d7f4d6566&tab=payment

Helping others comes in many different forms. Some people swim, some people run, others just give. When you give to those who are severely disadvantaged you are doing your part to make this world a fairer place.

There is no amount too small… $1 a week ($52 a year), $5 a week ($260 a year), $20 a week ($1,040 a year), etc. You’d be surprised how much of a difference a seemingly small contribution can make to the kids DEMSL sponsor. Give today and help change a child’s life.

DEMSL has an international Board and an amazing team of regular and part-time volunteers committed to helping others. We aim to transform their lives in a positive way and help empower them to reach their full potential.

It’s exactly four years ago that Louise TW was able to help Eleanor Abdulai to get a prosthetic leg. She is now helping dozens of disabled children to have a better life.
Every year at Thanksgiving we raise funds to give these children a special day out on the UN Day of Persons with Disabilities.
Please donate today and help us change lives. Thank you.

Even from far down the beach, I could make out the familiar cries of a soccer game. But as I got closer, I realized this was no ordinary game at all. Every player on the field had missing limbs. Maneuvers I had never se...

Dec 3 is the UN Day of Persons with Disabilities. The Disability Empowerment Movement of Sierra Leone (DEMSL.org) has been bringing much needed support to children living with disabilities in Sierra Leone since 2019. DEMSL has provided wheelchairs, crutches, school supplies, and medical help to dozens of children. But there are so many more who need our help. Every dollar makes a difference. Please give today. https://www.gofundme.com/f/Get-disabled-kids-back-to-school
