The foundation beginsA commitment to mothers and infants.
The Mansaray Foundation is launched with a commitment to improving maternal and infant health and strengthening access to care in underserved rural communities in Sierra Leone.
The Mansaray Foundation
No woman should die giving life.
The Mansaray Foundation is a nonprofit organization working alongside rural communities and health facilities in Sierra Leone to strengthen maternal and child healthcare.
Who we are
We believe where a woman lives shouldn’t determine the care she receives.
TMF works alongside communities, healthcare professionals, and health facilities in rural Sierra Leone to help strengthen the systems surrounding mothers and babies.
We believe sustainable change happens when communities are heard, healthcare workers are supported, health facilities are strengthened, and local capacity is built to last.
Our mission
To improve maternal and child health in rural Sierra Leone by strengthening the systems surrounding women throughout pregnancy, childbirth, and the postnatal period.
Our story
It started with a commitment to mothers.
What began as a commitment to improving maternal health has grown through years of listening, learning, partnership, and working alongside rural communities and healthcare professionals in Sierra Leone.

Partnership in action
Reliable power for stronger health facilities
With GIZ support, solar power systems were installed at Panlap, Binkolo, Kabombeh, and Kalangba, strengthening the infrastructure that supports maternal and community health services.
This is what partnership can make possible.

Our vision
The future we’re working toward
A Sierra Leone where mothers and newborns in rural communities have stronger pathways to timely, quality, respectful healthcare—and where local health systems have the people, resources, and capacity to sustain that care.
Every mother deserves the opportunity to give birth safely.
Together, we can help strengthen the systems surrounding mothers and babies in rural Sierra Leone.
