What people saying?
Testimonials from those who have received support from the Shalom Rescue Foundation are a powerful testimony to the positive impact that our programs and services have on the lives of vulnerable children and young people in Sierra Leone.
From a Young Student
“Before I joined the program, going to school was just a dream. My family couldn’t afford books or uniforms, and I thought I would spend my life helping my parents in the fields. But thanks to Shalom Rescue Foundation, I now have everything I need to study. I’m learning so much, and I even dream of becoming a teacher one day so I can help other children like me. Thank you for giving me hope and a future!”
From a Parent
“Life was a daily struggle for our family. We couldn’t provide enough food, let alone pay for school fees. Then Shalom Rescue Foundation came into our lives. Not only did they ensure our children could go to school, but they also helped us with food support and healthcare. Now, I see my children smiling and dreaming of brighter futures. I will forever be grateful for this second chance for my family.”
From a Young Adult in a Vocational Program
“After dropping out of school, I thought my life was over. I couldn’t find work, and I felt like I was a burden on my family. But when I joined the vocational training program at Shalom Rescue Foundation, everything changed. I learned tailoring and even started earning my own income. Today, I help support my family, and I’m planning to open my own shop. This program didn’t just teach me skills—it gave me dignity and confidence.”
From a Rehabilitated Child
“I used to work on the streets, collecting scraps to survive. It was a hard life, and I didn’t think anyone cared about kids like me. Then Shalom Rescue Foundation found me. They brought me to a safe place, gave me food, and helped me go back to school. Now, I love reading and learning new things every day. I feel safe, loved, and hopeful for my future.”
From a Survivor of Abuse
“I was lost, scared, and felt completely alone after what I went through. Shalom Rescue Foundation became my safe space. The counselors listened to me, helped me heal, and showed me that I was stronger than I believed. They’ve given me tools to rebuild my life, and now I’m studying to become a social worker so I can help others like they helped me.”
From a Community Member
“The programs run by Shalom Rescue Foundation have completely transformed our village. Children who never went to school are now attending classes every day. Parents are learning new skills to earn a living, and there is hope in our community for the first time in years. We are so thankful for their work and their belief in us.”
From a Child in a Creative Arts Program
“I never thought I could do anything special. But when I joined the art program at Shalom Rescue Foundation, I discovered I love painting. Now, my drawings are on the walls of our center, and everyone says I have talent! I feel proud of myself for the first time, and I want to keep learning and creating more art.”
From a Single Mother
“Raising my children alone was so hard. I felt hopeless and ashamed because I couldn’t give them the life they deserved. Shalom Rescue Foundation gave me strength through their support groups and training programs. I’ve learned skills to earn money, and my children are now in school. We finally have hope for the future.”
From a Health Program Beneficiary
“My daughter was always sick, and I didn’t know what to do. Shalom Rescue Foundation provided free healthcare and taught us about hygiene and nutrition. Now, my daughter is healthy, and I feel like I can take better care of my family. They saved her life, and I am forever grateful.”
From a Youth Mentor
“I was once a teenager in this program, and now I am a mentor to others. Shalom Rescue Foundation didn’t just help me escape poverty—they taught me how to dream and believe in myself. Today, I help younger children find their own path, and it feels incredible to give back to the community that changed my life.”
