ABOUT MADAM
MADAM is a national NGO established in 1991, working with the most vulnerable, disadvantaged and marginalized people in Sierra Leone, with a specific focus on the northern region.
We are committed to improving livelihood security among rural communities, focusing on women, youth and children.
MADAM is driven by the belief that sustainability can only be achieved if people are empowered to take the lead in their own development through capacity building advocacy and partnerships.
MADAM operates from its own office space along the Makeni – Magburaka highway. This is where the office staff works, the TVET education takes place, and where the MADAM Nelis guesthouse and conference room are located.
