What We Do
We help the children of Sierra Leone through the process of education, allowing them the opportunity to make choices for their future.
We are a small charity that are hugely passionate about our cause, making a difference to the lives of the children and the community.
So far we have:
Built a school in 2007 that taught 100 children.
Built a standalone secondary school in 2019 to teach a combined intake of nearly 500 children.
Extended our secondary school twice by 2023, teaching 745 children across two centres and employing 30 staff across teaching, teaching assistants, nurses and ancillary workers.
Started the new OAKS Senior Secondary School in 2024/25 with an initial intake of 90 children, complete with a computer suite and fully stocked science laboratory.
For the 2026/27 school year, we teach 1,000 pupils: 540 in primary school, 260 in junior secondary school and 200 in senior secondary school. Across our three schools, we offer 1,080 student places.
We always register our whole cohort for external exams. In 2026, we achieved another 100% pass rate. We are driving complete education for all in our district
We need to raise more funds:
To cover the annual running costs of our expanding teaching and support staff plus school maintenance and teaching aids
Further donations will help us provide new whiteboards across 26 classrooms, upgraded teaching aids and secure playground perimeters.
