About Us

The Limba people (herein Known as the Limbas) form the third largest ethnic group and among the earliest indigenous inhabitants of Sierra Leone. Oral history reveals that they have no tradition of origin; they have always lived in Sierra Leone and were probably the first rulers of the country. However, it is believed by some historians that like the Temne, they are descendants of a once-powerful tribe coming from Fouta Djallon during the 12th century and settled around the Wara Wara hills in the northern interior. They speak various dialects of a language largely unrelated to other tribal languages in the country. Major Limba dialects include: Biriwa, Safroko, Thonko, Wara Wara and Sela.

What We Do

The most significant aspect of the organization since its inception in 1987 was our strong belief in giving back to our communities. This was a value we were willing to pursue and to sacrifice for because we wanted to make a positive difference

We sponsor scholarship to deserving underprivileged children; organized book drives; gave financial assistance to some members of the Islamic and Christian communities in Sierra Leone;

donated medical supplies to hospitals; and procured medical equipment to eradicate the Ebola virus in our country.
