Foundation: ChildHelp Sierra Leone was founded in 1994 and became effective in 1996 with the first mandate for only 4 sections and for only one ethnic group - to rescue war affected children and mothers and provide humanitarian assistance by 13 Christians from different denominations including community leaders. After the war, most of the co-founders left as the first mandate was achieved and the second mandate was for them. The new mandate was to cater for the development need of children and youths after the war, without regard to race, colour, ethnicity, and boundaries.
