Afrimoney has forged a partnership with SUDU Salone to facilitate donations aimed at supporting displaced children and orphans. The collaboration was officially launched during a signing ceremony held at Africell Headquarters, Wilberforce Village in Freetown.
The initiative highlights the shared commitment of both organizations to improve the lives of vulnerable children through financial support and community engagement.
Speaking at the event, Emmanuel Tamba Momoh, Deputy Country Lead for SUDU Salone, elaborated on the organization’s mission. “SUDU, which means ‘home’ or ‘shelter’ in the Fullah language, has been dedicated to providing care and placement for displaced children since 2018. We work with partners such as Don Bosco and the Ministry of Social Welfare to place these children in foster homes,” Tamba Momoh said.
The partnership with Afrimoney is tied to the launch of the “One Leone Campaign,” an initiative encouraging individuals to donate as little as one new Leone to support SUDU Salone’s programs. “This collaboration with Afrimoney will simplify the donation process and expand our ability to reach those in need,” Tamba Momoh emphasized.
Alfred Joseph Lavalie, Corporate Sales Manager at Afrimoney, reaffirmed the company’s dedication to supporting grassroots initiatives. “At Afrimoney, we believe in empowering organizations like SUDU Salone to achieve their goals. Through our platform, donors can contribute directly by dialing *161#, selecting option 1, and following the prompts to support SUDU Salone,” Alfred Joseph Lavalie explained.
The event concluded with Afrimoney staff making personal contributions to inaugurate the campaign, reflecting the company’s commitment to the cause.
This partnership represents a significant step toward mobilizing community-driven support for some of Sierra Leone’s most vulnerable populations. By combining SUDU Salone’s efforts with Afrimoney’s digital platform, the initiative aims to enhance the lives of displaced children and orphans across the country.
With the One Leone Campaign now underway, the collaboration promises to inspire more people to contribute to creating a brighter future for those in need.
