About Don Bosco Fambul
Don Bosco Fambul (DBF) is a Local Non-Governmental Organization which helps children, teenagers and young people who live in situations of high vulnerability in the streets of Freetown. We listen to their plights and cries and attend to their needs in a holistic way. We reunify them with their families and empower them through education and skills training.
The Salesians of Don Bosco, priests and brothers, together with lay people manage the overall work since 1998 during the SL civil war. Our programmes include a Child Care Centre for boys who live in situation of streetism; a girls’ shelter for beneficiaries who have suffered all kind of abuse; a shelter for girls who live in situation of prostitution, and the group home’s programme for children who cannot be reunified with their families.
A Bus goes every night to the streets to detect cases of vulnerability. A programme at Pademba Prison offers hope to inmates through education and psychosocial support. A 24 hours free phone crisis -which covers the whole country- offers free counselling to children in distress. The Hope plus programme offers free education and skills training to girls who live in a situation of prostitution.
Don Bosco Freetown has also a Parish, a Nursery and Primary School and an Oratory and Youth Centre where hundreds of children and young people find joy and hope
