ABOUT US

 

The Sierra Leone Association in Switzerland and Neighbouring France, “The Salone Association”, aims to promote and sustain human development by supporting charitable causes within Sierra Leone. In 1996 a group of Sierra Leoneans resident in the Canton of Geneva and in neighbouring France (Département de L’Ain), organised a fund-raising dinner and dance. Its proceeds constituted the financial base of the group. In 2002, this organizaton was formally constituted under Swiss Law as the “The Salone Association”.
