SLFWA
BACKGROUND
SLFWA a registered charity was founded in 2001 by a group of West African Diaspora. On seeing the lack of assistance available for people from West Africa, in particular Sierra Leonean, after the devastating effect of the war in 2000, they decided to set up SLFWA.
SLFWA offers a helping hand for the West African Community settling in to the UK, and an opportunity to meet with people from their homeland.
SLFWA is a not-for-profit charity. We work in conjunction with various other charities such as MAGHAS to provide advice and guidance to West Africans and access to basic services including social services, education and health.
MISSION STATEMENT
To develop a sound programme of community and social development for West Africans in the UK and abroad.
AIMS
SLFWA aims to alleviate stress, hardship and poverty for the West African community.
OBJECTIVES
Encourage Sierra Leonean and other West African Diaspora to share their skills and knowledge with the newly arrived refugees.
Ease integration into British society by providing a listening ear for confidential issues when language barriers may be a problem.
