Shalom Rescue Foundation-Sierra Leone

As part of our 2025–2028 Strategic Priorities to expand program reach in rural communities, we are excited to announce the official opening of a new community-based office in Kalangba – Fula Town, Bombali District, Northern Province. This marks a significant step in our commitment to bringing vital support services closer to underserved children, vulnerable populations, families, and survivors of sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) who are often left behind due to geographic and systemic barriers.

In support of this expansion, we have established strong partnerships with key local institutions and community stakeholders, including:
• Local traditional and community leaders
• SLMB Primary School
• WCSL Primary School

These partnerships will enable us to deliver school-based outreach, child protection programs, psychosocial support, community education, and SGBV response services directly within Kalangba and its surrounding areas.

During our launch, Mr. Foday Kamara, our Kalangba Program Coordinator, met with community leaders to introduce the Foundation, share our vision, and highlight the importance of this collaboration in addressing urgent local needs—particularly those affecting children, women, and disadvantaged adults.

Mr. Hassan Kamara, Field Officer – Kalangba, also engaged with the leadership of our partner schools to discuss how this partnership will support student safety, learning, and overall well-being.

Representing our Western Urban head office, Mr. Samuel Borbor, Mr. Leonard Decker, and our dedicated intern Ms. Blessing Kamara traveled to Kalangba to show their support and facilitate the successful launch of our rural operations.

This expansion is more than just a new office—it is a promise: to serve, protect, and empower the most vulnerable where help is needed most.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to the people of Kalangba for their warm welcome and strong community spirit. We look forward to building lasting impact—together. 🙌🏽

Stay tuned for updates as we begin delivering services in Kalangba—and as we prepare to identify our next rural district for expansion!
