The people behind the packages

A proud group of Sierra Leonean young people in Georgia, supported by mentors who believe every child deserves to feel clean and cared for.

Our story

It started with one trip home

Salone Millennials was founded in 2020 in Atlanta, Georgia. Our president visited Sierra Leone and came back inspired by its culture, food, people and history, and determined to help the kids and teens back home.

Today our members raise money, collect hygiene items, pack every bag by hand and ship them to schools across the country.

"I am a proud Sierra Leonean teen. I fell in love with Sierra Leone because of its rich culture, food, people, history and natural resources. I've been to Sierra Leone once and I was inspired. Because of that, I wanted to contribute to help the kids and teens back home."
