Description

We are a development charity, working with and for the children in Sierra Leone - a beautiful country in West Africa. We empower children with knowledge, confidence and dreams for a bright future - Giving them A Chance. Our vision is to see a society where children are educated, do not go to bed hungry, and have their fundamental rights recognized, respected and protected. Brima Kpakra and his wife, Esther Jenneh Sandy, started fostering children in 2010. Brima’s own upbringing reveals the beginnings for his genuine passion to promote and encourage other’s development from a young age by focusing on education and discipline. Growing up, Brima was one of 30 children his father raised, of which 21 were adopted: Their primary caregivers were either not alive anymore or not able to look after them. Brima and Esther founded Give a Chance SL in 2020 to create a structure for fostering more children. Currently they take in children from the Southern and Northern regions of Sierra Leone. Their goal is to grow the operations and reach more children in Sierra Leone.
