April 2025 SLAM Update

Thank you!

The orphanage dormitory has been built, the children were moved in September and are doing well. But our job is not finished. We need funds to upgrade solar panels to accommodate a refrigerator and to tile the floors.

In the photo you will notice that some of the children are getting older. To give them an opportunity to be self-sufficient, we are currently supporting six children with university classes. We also have seven children waiting to enter vocational training. But we do not currently have enough money to support their aspirations. If you are receiving an income tax refund or you have other funds to spare, perhaps you can help in some way. Thank you for your continued support for the poor.

The children depend on us. God Bless You for all the good you do.

Winter 2025 Sierra Leone Action Mission Update

November 2024 Update SLAM Update

Thank you. The orphanage dormitory has been built, the children were moved in September and are doing well. But our job is not finished. We have the funds to install solar panels for electricity and to do the painting. The tiling of the floors will be completed when funds are available.

Inflation is high and our operational costs keep rising. Our relocation onto the school property has provided us with new issues and opportunities. Several school children from the community who do not have enough to eat come to the dormitory for food. We welcome them. This results in increased costs. Thank you for your continued support for the poor.


The children depend on us. God Bless You for all the good you do.

Update – August 2024

Dear friends of SLAM. The roof is on. The ceiling has been completed, and the front door has been installed. But we really need your help with your prayers and your donations to help us complete the interior of the dormitory. We are $20,000 short of what we need to complete the project. Any donation, large or small is appreciated. This is urgent as we would like to relocate the children to the new facility in September.

Donations may be made in one of four ways:

  1. Through the parish.
  2.  By credit card through our website at slam.accountabledevelopment.org
  3. By e-transfer to our email address slam@accountabledevelopment.org
  4.  By sending a cheque to:

June Update

Our dormitory construction is progressing even though construction was paused for part of March and April due to a shortage of funds. A few generous people helped us to resume work. We are thankful that the roof has been completed prior to the rainy season.

As you can see, costs are rising. Our budgeted cost is now $80,000. We are confident that with your help of prayers and dollar donations we will complete this project soon. As of June 10, 2024 we have received $46,000 in donations toward this project.
