About Us

The Sekou Jomanday Foundation (SJF) is a private charitable foundation based in Liberia that is dedicated to creating a safe and nurturing environment for children. Our primary goal is to ensure that children have the opportunity to grow and develop into productive members of their communities.

At SJF, we firmly believe that children are the future, which is why we have taken on the role of being champions for their rights in Liberia. There are numerous challenges that put children at risk in this West African country. These challenges include high levels of malnutrition and a fragile healthcare system that leaves children vulnerable to common childhood illnesses. Additionally, violence, abuse, and exploitation are prevalent issues faced by children on a daily basis.

In order to address these issues comprehensively, our approach focuses on multiple factors that contribute to a safe and healthy environment for children. SJF envisions a country where all children can exercise their rights to survival, development, protection, and participation from birth through adolescence.

To realize this vision, our Foundation concentrates on six key areas: ensuring access to quality child healthcare services; promoting adequate nutrition; providing clean water supply and sanitation facilities; offering early childhood education; fostering basic education opportunities; and advocating for child protection. In order to have an effective impact within society, SJF also empowers communities by encouraging them to claim their rights while adopting positive social norms and practices.

Through our holistic approach and dedication to improving the lives of children in Liberia, Sekou Jomanday Foundation aims to create lasting positive change.
