About The Sierra Leone Poverty Alleviation Charitable Trust

The Sierra Leone Poverty Alleviation Charitable Trust (SALPACT) was established on the 15th of August 2017 – the day the great floods came to Mount Sugar Loaf in Freetown after heavy rains, killing over one thousand people, leaving several thousands homeless, including children. The Trust was set up to respond to the emerging humanitarian crisis caused by the disaster, helping with food, shelter and medicines.

SALPACT is working in Sierra Leone to help tackle poverty, especially child poverty through education, climate change and environmental management interventions in schools.

In response to the deadly mudslide which took place in Freetown on the 13th and 14th of August 2017, killing over 1000 people, with thousands more – including children, now orphaned and homeless .

What We Do

We raise funds to pay for much needed educational materials, facilities and amenities for schools in Sierra Leone that will help improve learning environment and drive pupil achievement and attainment.

Our Mission

The aim of SALPACT is to pursue the advancement of education and the prevention or relief of poverty for children in poverty or need, due to their economic and social circumstances ..

Sierra Leone Flood survivors stuck in temporary shelters

The two camps in the west of the capital should have been closed down in mid-November. That was the government’s plan – to first provide temporary accommodation for the survivors and then more permanent housing solutions.

Following the intensive flash floods and the mudslide on August 14, three private construction companies stepped in to assist the government of Sierra Leone, in its provision of permanent and safe housing for the survivors.
