Core Value

Vision

“Inspired by the Gospel and the Catholic social teachings, Caritas Sierra Leone envisions a society where everyone exercise their fundamental human rights and live in dignity, free from poverty and social injustice irrespective of class status, gender or social orientation.”

BACKGROUND OF CARITAS MAKENI

Established in 1979 by Bishop Azzolini, Caritas Makeni is the relief and development body based in the Diocese of Makeni in Sierra Leone’s North and North – West Provinces inspired by the Gospel and social teachings of the Catholic Church, Caritas Makeni envisages a society where poor and marginalized people are treated with dignity and equality and are free from poverty on a sustainable basis

We Work in 7 Districts To Strengthen eqaulity

Caritas Makeni has come a long way in discovering its true identity amidst past and present challenges. Through hard work, effective collaboration, resilience, cohesion, and support from different donors, it has been able to stand the test of time and has surmounted some of the challenges it encounters.Caritas SL Makeni has continued to build on the management structure that has not only abetted the restructuring or rebranding of Caritas Makeni internally in terms of staffing, redefining roles, and responsibilities, putting staff in their right positions but has also encouraged contacts with donor agencies for potential funding to support and complement the effort of the Church and the government in terms of development. This structure is constitutive of the growth and efficient operation of the organization as we can visibly see the smooth running of the organization and a high degree of improvement both in the administration and programs as we continue to provide support to marginalized groups within the communities in the seven northern districts of thecountry where Caritas Makeni operates.
