About AWOL:
AWOL is a non-political development organization founded in 2002 by a group of young Sierra Leoneans committed to the principles of charity, patriotism, and community development. Officially launched by the late President Dr. Ahmed Tejan Kabbah, AWOL was conceived as a self-help initiative to inspire young Sierra Leoneans to contribute to nation-building.
AWOL’s mission is to give back to society and complement the efforts of the government in fostering national development. Since its inception, AWOL has been organizing the prestigious National Achievement Awards to honor Sierra Leoneans for outstanding contributions in their respective sectors. The organization also runs the annual June 16 School Feeding and Awards program, which aims to inspire future generations of leaders.
With Chapters in the US, UK, Continental Europe, Australia, and The Gambia, AWOL provides platforms for Sierra Leoneans in the Diaspora to contribute to development efforts back home.
