LNP was founded by the late Richard Mandewa Cole in 1992 after he escaped with his family from the rebels in Liberia to Sierra Leone. Moved by the plight of child soldiers, Richard rescued and educated over 2000 children.

LNP is now at work in over multiple districts across Sierra Leone, empowering individuals, families, and communities to become self-reliant, responsible citizens; and always seeking to address the disparities facing minority groups, including women and girls.

Your donation will support girls like Memuna who thought her life was over after becoming pregnant at 15. With the support of mentoring through LNP's 2YoungLives she had a healthy pregnancy and gave birth safely. She was then supported to attend LNP's Betteh Tumara vocational skills training and qualified as a plumber. At only 19, she now runs a successful business and supports her family.

Or it might support Joseph, a 13 year old boy whose father died age 5 and whose mother is disabled. Joining the Lifeline church fellowship, he made friends and was supported to attend LNPs primary and then secondary school. He is achieving high grades and would love to study medicine.

Vocational training, voluntary blood donation, training farmers in more productive farming methods, schools in deprived areas, mentoring of pregnant teenagers, educating young people in a government correctional centre, and a community-run maternity clinic in an area with huge rates of maternal and infant death. All of these things will be made possible by your donation, 100% of which will be spent on the ground in Sierra Leone.

Thank you
