Laughter Africa
Where we work

We work in Freetown, Sierra Leone. Our Interim Care Centre opened its doors on Monday 15 June 2015, and we've been here ever since.

Our mobile project has reached street children in communities right across Freetown: Susan's Bay, Regent Road, Portee, Waterloo, Grafton, Funkia, Bomeh, Tombo and Aberdeen. In 2027, we're taking it back to where we started, in Town.

Our dream is to one day work in every country in Sub-Saharan Africa. For now, we’re sowing the seeds in Sierra Leone.
