Our Mission & Vision
Our Story
NewLife Project is a Non-Profit Organization which was founded by Brenda Williams in Freetown, Sierra Leone to reach out to underprivileged women. The project was born from an evangelical campaign in 1994 with a dedication to bringing new life to at-risk women and children. NewLife Project has touched the lives of over a thousand lives including women, men, and children in different communities in Cote d’Ivoire, Sierra Leone, and Ghana through our Vocational Training Programs, Women’s Forum, Rehabilitation Centre, organized Health Clinics, and Relief Programs. In 2014, we established a centre in Canada to help women and youth in our community. We offer a unique and dynamic set of programs that aim to develop our members so they can succeed in their personal and professional ventures. Members not only build their knowledge and skills, but they also make meaningful connections with the community.
