Families Without Borders

Families Without Borders is a 501c(3) nonprofit organization focused on higher education and empowerment of youth to build their own communities. Families Without Borders selects top-performing Sierra Leonean high school graduates from different tribes and religions from financially disadvantaged backgrounds with an emphasis on female and rural students and provides them access to otherwise inaccessible college educational opportunities. Families Without Borders takes a holistic approach, providing these future leaders with a full college scholarship, including tuition, housing, food and health care, while encouraging them to lead in their communities by taking ownership of challenges and nurturing strengths.
