PADIPADI FOUNDATION PROFILE

BACKGROUND

The PadiPadi foundation Sierra Leone (PPF-SL) is an independent, non-political non-profit, non-religious and national non-governmental organization operating in Sierra Leone. The rationale for its formation was borne out of the passion and vision – to help create a safe, fun, educative and support environment for vulnerable Sierra Leonean children, women and farmers. This was pioneered by a team of well meaning Sierra Leonean young men and women with vast experience and knowledge in social and community development work.
Having registered with the appropriate government ministries and authorities to work with children, women and farmers in the country, PadiPadi foundation- Sierra Leone has been functioning as a national civil society organization through an Integrated Education and Empowerment Program targeting: Teenage mothers; school drop-outs; farmers; school-goers, and radio enthusiasts in the country.
Its driving principles are geared towards reviewing the past, confronting the present and re-positioning for the future of children, women and farmers in Sierra Leone. PadiPadi foundation remains very committed to improving the well being of children, women and farmers. As such the needs of our beneficiaries/ right bearers always come first. The programs are set up according to the needs of the children, women and farmers and communities regardless of political affiliation, religion, tribe or sex.
