Why Sierra Leone?

A Personal Connection

Tim and Ceri Griffiths, the founders, served for 7 years as missionaries in Sierra Leone. In the early 80's they resigned from their teaching post and left with their 18 month old daughter Tara to work in a small village outside the capital Freetown, called Makump.  

It was during the death of their interpreter's wife that they were asked to adopt a boy, now their adopted son John.

It was because of this experience that Compassion Africa was started - to see more children of Sierra Leone find loving homes.
