Who We Are

OMBA - North America is a registered non-profit (501-C3) organization, formed in June, 2009 to help the well over 1000 students at Saint Murialdo Secondary school in Lunsar, Sierra Leone, successfully complete high school education.

About 95% of the students at the school are from homes well below the set UN poverty index, where a meal a day is not guarantee and some students have to walk well over ten miles daily to get to school. Hunger and the lack of learning materials have resulted in many students dropping out of school in recent years. Through the generous donations of alumni/alumnae in the United States and Canada, OMBA-North America; has instituted many lives changing projects in the school. Among them are the provision of well over eight thousand dollars ($8,000) learning materials to the students, sponsoring teachers loan scheme in the tune of about $5,000, payment of fees for extra classes for all students in the examination classes and scholarship scheme for the most vulnerable especially orphans.

OMBA-North America, believes quality education should transcend class divides and should be accessible to all. We are striving to ensure no student attend school hungry and with no learning materials.

We stand together to help shape the lives of the next generation, we recognized our responsibility to help and seek much needed help for the students.
