Our Purpose

O.S.L.I.N. was established in 1991 by a group of Sierra Leoneans living across the state of Indiana.  We would join together in solidarity and unity to help those in need due to the ongoing civil war in Sierra Leone.  It is that innate desire to help our people back in Sierra Leone that has driven members to stay consistently dedicated to providing sustainable solutions to the people of Sierra Leone through our many programs and fundraising efforts that span over 25 years.

Our Projects

Our efforts continue to make an impact in Sierra Leone, starting with barrel distribution in Kailahun and Port Loko, providing essential supplies to families in need. The We Yone Style Fashion Show Fundraiser supports our Water Project, ensuring clean water access. Through the Can I Kick It shoe drive, we successfully raised over 200 pairs of shoes for those without in Sierra Leone. Proceeds from our Ebola Fundraising Dance were directed to the Dream Again Orphanage, helping children affected by the crisis. Looking ahead, we are excited to include future projects, such as the installation of toilets in communities across Sierra Leone, improving sanitation and health.
