Madam Ninie Unachuku explained that MFHF is a non-profit community initiative set up in Sierra Leone to assist in the regeneration effort of the nation. She mentioned that all their membership are Sierra Leoneans at home and abroad that have real passion to help young people from falling below the poverty line and build a strong nation.

Madam Ninie Unachuku went further to explained that they called their first project ‘Start with One’

“We have targeted this group because they are the most susceptible to dropping out of education due to personal challengers. As the next generation of leaders, these age ranges are our best hope for a brighter Sierra Leone,” she said.

According to her, she said when the youth succeed they succeed; if they fail they would have failed to impact their next generation of potential Doctors, Lawyers, Sportsmen, Entertainers and Business Moguls among others.  

She urged all to consider their role as an influencer and for them to join and support the Foundation to help every young person fulfil his dreams and thereby fulfilling the dream of a prosperous Sierra Leone for everyone.
