Sport For Empowerment Foundation (SFEF) is a community-based organisation in Sierra Leone which leverages the power of sport and education to enable young people to empower themselves to improve their own lives and those of their peers.
We believe that real development can only be realised when local communities are genuinely empowered with the tool set to drive their own development. This belief is fundamental to the conception and design of our project.
Core to our project’s philosophy is that young people are not only provided with opportunities to develop and learn essential new skills and values; they are also central to sharing those skills and values with their peers through outreach and guidance work, as well as being thoroughly involved in the planning and running of the project.
