Training Session with Lead Volunteer Ishmeal Kanu.

At the Sick Pikin Project, we believe that helping a child begins with understanding their story and knowing how to turn that story into action.

Our volunteers recently participated in an engaging capacity-building session led by our Lead Volunteer, Ishmeal Kanu, focused on strengthening their skills in communicating the needs of vulnerable sick children.

The session reminded us that humanitarian work is not only about giving it is about understanding, connecting, advocating, and taking action.

Every child deserves a chance at life, and every volunteer has a role to play in making that chance possible.

Together, we can turn compassion into action and hope into healing. 💙🙏

Today marked the first day in the field for our new interns from FUR Sierra Leone, who have joined The Sick Pikin Project for a one-month internship programme.

After an inspiring session with our Lead Volunteer, Ishmael Kanu, on the importance of fundraising, compassion, and humanitarian service, they made a commitment to do more than simply complete an internship they chose to serve, show love, and make a difference.

Today, they stepped into the streets to raise support for vulnerable sick children. It wasn’t easy. Their hearts were heavy as they witnessed the realities faced with street fundraising, but that heaviness was melted away by the thought of families who cannot afford the medical care their children. They were able to raise the sum of NLe 221.

We are grateful for these young changemakers and pray that their compassion will continue to grow.

Together, we can give hope, restore dignity, and save lives.

🙏 WE STILL NEED VOLUNTEERS!
Your time, skills, and compassion can help keep hope alive for a sick child and their family.

Some testimonies are visible and undeniable. God is a practical God!

This is baby Mustapha, who was left with a swollen belly after surgery. There were moments when the situation looked hopeless, but God had the final say.

First, God blessed him with a strong, resilient, and faith-filled mother who refused to give up on her child. Then His grace and mercy began to unfold in ways only He can. Thank you all for your love and supports. Humanity showed true strength and together we did it.

Today, we celebrate and testify to the goodness of God in Mustapha’s life. From being a very sick child with little hope to now becoming a boy full of strength, power, joy, and a promising future, his life is a living testimony that God still works miracles.

What God has done for Mustapha, He can do for others. All glory, honor, and praise belong to God alone.

The Shri Gurudwara Sahib Lumley, comprising Indian Merchants and members of the Sikh Community in Lumley, joined hands with interns of the Sick Pikin Project to raise funds within the Lumley community in support of children living with serious medical conditions.

This laudable humanitarian initiative, led by Mohinder Bir Singh Sachdeva, CEO of Jeety Trading Company, reflects continued commitment to supporting vulnerable people alongside his usual Saturday feeding program.

The sum of NLe 2,150 was raised.

Such acts of kindness and community service continue to bring hope and relief to many children and their families.

Happy International Day of Families❤️

Celebrated each year on May 15, this United Nations observance highlights the essential role families play in building strong, caring communities.

This year’s theme, Families, Inequalities, and Child Wellbeing, reminds us of the importance of ensuring every family has the support needed to thrive.

Whether it’s the family you were born into or the one you’ve built along the way, today is a time to celebrate the people who make life meaningful.

Take a moment to:
Connect with a loved one you haven’t spoken to in a while

Share a favorite family memory

Support the wellbeing of families everywhere

No matter where we are in the world, family is often where we find love, belonging, and home.

How are you celebrating your family today? ❤️

Measles is putting children in Sierra Leone at risk.

Between January and April 2026, 41 measles cases were reported across eight districts, with the highest number in Freetown. Most concerning is that measles spreads quickly among children and can lead to serious complications such as pneumonia, blindness, malnutrition, and even death.

Every child deserves protection. The measles vaccine is safe, effective, and available free of charge. Parents and caregivers are encouraged to ensure children receive both recommended doses.

If a child develops fever, rash, red eyes, runny nose, or cough, seek medical care immediately.

Protecting children from measles is protecting their right to survive and thrive.

Medical Update: One Success Down, One to Go for Ramatu!

We are thrilled to announce that Ramatu’s first-stage surgery was a success, thanks to the expertise of Dr. Kamara and Dr. Wongo. Our deepest gratitude goes to God, our medical team, and our incredible donors, with special thanks to Chief Minister David Moinina Sengbeh and Haja Rashida her family and her friends in the Netherlands for their vital support, S*K online Television.

The Final Hurdle

Ramatu’s journey isn't over. Her second and final surgery is scheduled in exactly three weeks.
We urgently need to raise additional funds to cover this final operation and her post-operative care. Ramatu has been incredibly brave, and with your help, we can cross the finish line together.

New Goal: We still need to raise approximately $1,050 (NLe 26,000 approx).

Thank you for your unwavering kindness. Together, we can give Ramatu the healthy future she deserves. 🙏
