About Us

Welcome to the Organization of Sierra Leoneans in Sweden (ORSLIS)! Our story is one of passion, commitment, and a shared dream of making a difference. We are a non-political, non-religious organization uniting Sierra Leoneans from all walks of life in Sweden.

Our Purpose And Passion

Vision for the Future

Our vision is to build a community where every Sierra Leonean in Sweden feels connected and valued. We strive to nurture a sense of belonging and pride in our heritage.

Mission in Action

Our mission drives us to organize activities that not only bring us together but also enrich our lives. From cultural events to educational workshops, we aim to inspire and empower our members.

Making a Difference

Our impact is seen in the stories of those we’ve helped. Whether it's through shipping medical supplies during the Ebola crisis or supporting schools in Sierra Leone, our efforts have made a tangible difference.

Our Journey

The Beginning

In 2004, a group of dedicated Sierra Leoneans came together in Stockholm to form what is now ORSLIS. Their vision was simple yet powerful: to create a home away from home for Sierra Leoneans living in Sweden. Since then, our organization has flourished, attracting members from across Sweden and collaborating with other African organizations. Our journey is marked by a relentless pursuit of unity, support, and cultural celebration.
