The Mission

In 1996 The Nenneh's Children Relief Fund was established in New York by MS. Saunders to support the efforts of Nenneh's Preparatory School. NCRF is a non-profit organization. The main goals of the organization are to fund and support the efforts of Nenneh's Preparatory School and assist in all areas that are consequential to the well-being of the staff and students. The main goal of the school is to ensure that all students are given the opportunity to have a balanced education. This is keeping with its motto "Learning is the light of life". The NCRF believes that only through education will children of Sierra Leone be able to learn from their past, and help to build a better future.
 

Services

Currently Nenneh's Preparatory School serves 250 Children ages three through ten. They receive academic and educational skills and psychological counseling. The school is funded primarily through the NCRF and a handful of dedicated and generous individuals. Ms. Saunders has devoted her life to the development of the school. The school is comprised of twelve teachers and four assistant teachers. The students are taught reading, language arts, science, mathematics and history. The bulk of the financing comes from Ms. Saunders who is a teacher at PS 138 in Brooklyn, NY. She tutors in the after school literacy program in order to gain additional funds to support the school in Sierra Leone. Ms Saunders travels to Freetown every summer for two months to plan and deliver workshops for teachers and parents. Parents' involvement is very important as it helps foster the growth and well-being of the students.
