About Us

The SLCCO was incorporated in the state of Ohio in 1993 as a non-profit organization. 

Objectives:-
  • Promote the general welfare of the Sierra Leone community and their families, particularly in central Ohio
  • Build bridges by fostering greater understanding and cooperation among members and between the organization and the American citizenry in general
  • Encourage members to develop a greater appreciation for the democratic process and for tolerance of the diversity of opinion as is often evident among us
  • Educate our communities in the cultural heritage of Sierra Leone
  • Undertake a program of social and sporting activities for members and their families
  • Assist in developing appropriate human resources in our native Sierra Leone by providing educational grants to students based on academic merit and the human resources needs of the Sierra Leone economy
  • Enhance awareness of investment opportunities in Sierra Leone among the business community in the United States
  • Serve as a community resource and cultural gatekeepers for new immigrants so as to facilitate their easing into their new home and life in the United States
