We are gathering donations to build water wells for village schools in Moyamba District, notably Ribbi and Bumpeh Chiefdom, Sierra Leone. We collect cash through members' voluntary donations and a dinner and dance held once a year in London. The monies are transmitted to Sierra Leone, where the project is scheduled to take place. We mainly operate in the United Kingdom and Sierra Leone.
