Our Mission

About Us
Ponka Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering communities in Sierra Leone through funding initiatives for better education, healthcare & nutrition, and community development all with the goal of promoting long-term self-sustenance. The origins of the Ponka Foundation stem from a collective vision to rebuild and uplift communities affected by conflict in west Africa, especially Sierra Leone’s civil war. We focus on fostering a collective sense of responsibility and pride, ensuring that the future of Ponka and surrounding villages is built by the hands of those who have always called it home.
