Don Bosco Fambul - Freetown A local faith-based NGO that helps minors & young people in situations of high vulnerability in SL..

Don Bosco Fambul was established in Freetown during the civil conflict in 1998; to respond, Don Bosco relies on a holistic empowerment concept that focuses on the needs of young clients. Minors are aimed to be reintegrated into their families of origin. The NGO was founded in 1998 by the Salesian congregation during the Sierra Leonean Civil War. Their programs include shelters for abuse survivors and accommodation for minors who cannot be reintegrated into their families of origin. There is also a mobile program for underage s*x workers and children at risk. A nationwide 24-hour telephone hotline offers free advice to children in need. A program at Pademba Prison provides inmates with education and psychosocial support. Particular attention is paid to education-based prevention of gender-based violence.

Exciting progress at Don Bosco Fambul Therapy Centre!!!
While our official water production is not yet in full effect, we are proud to share that our water factory is already supplying clean, pure drinking water to the different shelters across our campus.

This means our beneficiaries are now drinking clean water sourced directly from our own facility, a major milestone as we move closer to full production. We are no longer sourcing water externally for our campus.

We are incredibly grateful for the continued support of philanthropic.consortium that has made this possible and excited for what’s ahead as we work toward full operation.

A few months ago, we found this boy sleeping in the market with others. We invited them to the Don Bosco Fambul Therapy Center to participate in a rehabilitation program.

During that time, we contacted their families and prepared them for reunification. Today, we are sending some of the boys back to their families so they can continue their education.

The Don Bosco Fambul Therapy Center has taken care of 128 boys who were living on the streets last year. We will continue our mission until no child sleeps in the streets.

God bless our sponsors.

ALL WORK AND NO PLAY MAKES JACK A DULL BOY, and we take that to heart. Our staff pour so much of themselves into caring for our beneficiaries, holding space for their stories, their healing, and their growth. So every now and then, it’s important that we pause and pour back into the people who give so much of themselves every single day.

We held a Staff Care Day, a well deserved break for our team to relax, unwind, and simply enjoy each other’s company outside the daily demands of work. There was laughter, connection, and genuine fun as our staff took a moment to breathe and just be in the moment together.

We believe in raising well rounded young people who understand the value of responsibility, teamwork, and caring for their environment. As part of their weekly routine, our beneficiaries take turns keeping their surroundings clean, a simple but meaningful way of teaching them ownership and pride in the spaces they call home.

This is similar to the chores every child learns at home, sweeping, tidying up, and maintaining a clean living space. It works hand in hand with the agricultural lessons our beneficiaries receive three times a week, where they learn practical skills in gardening and farming. Together, these activities help instill discipline, responsibility, and life skills that will serve them well into adulthood.

We were greatly honored and delighted to welcome Shri Neeraj Kumar Saini, Chargé d’Affaires a.i., High Commission of India to Sierra Leone, as the Distinguished Guest for the Conclusion Programme of our Summer Camp at Don Bosco Fambul Therapy Centre, Waterloo.

His gracious presence brought great joy and encouragement to our children, animators, and the entire Don Bosco Fambul family.

We sincerely thank him for spending his valuable time with our vulnerable children and for his kindness, encouragement, and support.

We look forward to welcoming him again and continuing together in our mission of bringing hope, dignity, and a brighter future to vulnerable children.
May Almighty God bless him abundantly.

Career Day at our Summer Camp was such a fun and inspiring experience! Our children dressed up as who they dream of becoming in the future, from doctors to teachers, engineers to nurses, and everything in between.

Beyond the fun of dressing up, the day was also educational as each child had the opportunity to share why they want to become who they envisioned. It was beautiful watching them speak with such confidence and excitement about their dreams and aspirations for the future.

There is so much happening at Summer Camp this year, and our children are having the time of their lives while learning valuable lessons along the way.
