I have first-hand knowledge of the services being provided by Khadarlis in Sierra Leone and I sincerely urge individuals, corporations and others to please give generously of your time and donation to this worthy organization. Thank you.
Khadarlis for Sierra Leone is a Non Profit seeking to better the lives of individuals in the surrounding community and most importantly, its global community. They provide excellent resources for the local community to get work done and seek NEW employment opportunities with their new computer resource center. Internationally, they work tirelessly throughout Sierra Leone, Africa, providing food, clothing, toys, shelter, education, and clean renewable energy sources. Since the Co-founder is from Sierra Leone they demonstrate a "hands on" approach to their cause so you know every penny fun-raised goes to helping support theses efforts. What is unique about khadarlis is as volunteer for Khadarlis, you are completely free to work on any fundraising project you desire for any country you would like to help. You are given the tools, resources and knowledge to help you along the way. By having this approach, you are exposed to a number of different areas, people and and knowledge thereby gaining a hands on or "real world" experience that is priceless and attractive to any employer that you want to work for in the future. As a volunteer, I was able learn new fundraising techniques, understand how to manage a team, and build working relationships with people throughout Rhode Island. I have built a strong relationship with its founders and co founders as well and I can honestly say that they are the most dedicated and passionate people I have ever met in my life.

As a student of Bryant University, volunteering at any organization for just 10 minutes would have been just a thing to put on a resume and nothing more. That is until I came across Khadarlis For Sierra Leone. Volunteering for Khadarlis for Sierra Leone has really been an eye opening, emotional journey for me spiritually and emotionally. What stood out so much so much was Khadarlis' culture. It deeply instills reciprocity, dedication, and perseverance not only to it's volunteers but it's surrounding community as well. Through volunteering for Khadarlis, I was able to learn multiple skills sets, meet new connections, and at the same time, make a difference in the lives of those less fortunate. I can truly say that the 2 and half months that I volunteered for Khadarlis were one of the best times I have ever had.
I am a student at Bryant Universtiy. This semseter our management class required us to work with a non profit organization in Rhode Island that also had an international scope. Whne we first meet with Khadarlis we immediatly decided that we wanted to wrok with them. During the first meeting the founders of Khadarlis were very passionate about their work. Everytime we meet with the volunteers and founders of Khadarlis there was always a very frendly and hard working atmosphere. During the semester we became very close to the organization and really wnated to do our best to help them. Khadalis does many great thing for the community that surrounds them but has also done many grea thing in Sierra Leone and even Guatemala. Khadalris really inspired us to help people in nedd and that with time and effort we can make a big difference any where around the world. Khadarlis has also add more programs where they provide activities for children in the neighbourhood and has also help many people find new aprartments, jobs and basic necesities. Khadarlis has done a wonderful job in Rhopde Island, Sierra Leone and Guatemala and im sure they will continue to do many great things in the up coming years.
Khadarlis is a great non-profit to work for. I am a student from Bryant University who is working with Khadarlis for a management service learning project. My team and I have been helping Khadarlis through creating a Pen Pal System with an elementary school in Rhode Island, putting on a Halloween Program for children in the Providence area, getting donations from Staples to create care-packages for children participating in the Ninos del Lago summer camp in Guatemala, and also making a three year strategic plan. It has been an enriching experience working with Khadarlis. It feels great to help such an amazing organization that makes improvements in Sierra Leone and the Providence area. Working for Khadarlis has made me more comfortable talking to managers and contacting various places to try to get donations for this great organization. I was very excited when we created a Pen Pal connection that will last for years to come and will benefit many children. I have loved my experience working with Khadarlis for my service learning project and do not want this experience to end.
I am a sophomore at Bryant University and have been working with Khadarlis for our service learning project. From the start, everyone at Khadarlis was more than welcoming. Everyone was very enthusiastic and truly cared about the work that Khadarlis does. Right away, my service learning team and I were introduced to the Khadarlis community and learned how we could help. Over the past few months, Khadalris has helped us to achieve more than we ever thought we could. We helped organize and carry out a Halloween Program for children. We have set up a Pen Pal connection between an elementary school in Rhode Island and one in Sierra Leone. We have used various sources of social awareness, and have gained donations for care packages to be sent to Sierra Leone. Working with Khadarlis has been an amazing experience and iIhave learned and accomplished more that iIever thought iIwould. Khadarlis is an amazing organization and it has been wonderful working with them.
I am a student at Bryant University working with Khadarlis for a service learning project. Khadarlis not only helps out tremendously in Sierra Leone by providing help with the education, agriculture, and healthcare among other things but also in the Providence area. For our project, we have seen what Khadarlis does and are extremely impressed by how much they are able to accomplish. The outreach center in Providence itself provides a huge impact for those around it by serving as a place people can go for anything they need. I have learned that as long as you have the will to do something, it can be done and that is shown strongly with Khadarlis. We have learned as a group a lot from Khadarlis such as the importance of helping those who are less fortunate. It does not take a lot to make a difference in someones life and Khadarlis makes helping people look easy because of how good they are at it. I would definitely consider Khadarlis as the best non-profit because it is a small organization that is making a huge impact both in Sierra Leone and Providence. It has definitely taught our group a lot about the difference just a few people can make in others lives.
I know first hand the difference Khadarlis is making in the lives people in Sierra Leone and in the Providence, Rhose Island area. They are making things happen from nothing due to their dedication to helping the less fortunate among us. Khadarlis is well respected and admired by the communities/towns and villages they serve in Sierra Leone. Khadarlis is helping others help themselves. In the local communities that they serve in the United States they have earned respect and admiration for their work and dedication to Community service. I highly recommend Khadarlis. I have no doubt they are going to be one of the most respected, transparent and dedicated non-profits in their local community and the communities they serve in Sierra Leone, west Africa. Please donate your time, money and prayers for this worthy organization. Thank you.
My review here at Community Outreach Center is a great place to come they help out alot being here studying to get my cna was one of the things i did and they helped me pass my test and get a good grade on my project for my cna class i also came to do up a reasume for a job once again i recomend this center to everyone they are very helpful and local on bus line
Finding an organization that you can do community service with is a big issue when I was court ordered. Khadarlis made it easy to have access to do my time. They were professional, attentive and good people to work with.
Being poor is not a thing to take lightly, I need some social and human services and thanks to khadarlis their resource center had all the information I need to connect to the right agencies to help me. They even went above their call and made extra effort to make sure that me and my family needs were meet. Thanks to all the staff at khadarlis.
I had a 100 hours of community service to complete. I called Khadarlis and was told they will be happy to have me. Went there filled the application and was really amazed at the work they do, not only do they work here in Providenc. but also in Sierra Leone and Guatamala. I love the class room to classroom program. I think it is awesome.
Volunteering is good for the human spirit and soul. khadarlis makes volunteering easy, fun and very exciting. I love the feeling of belonging that khadarlis brings to the table.
I've volunteered for other non profits before but I can honestly say that Khadralis is the best non profit organization ever I've volunteered for. The staff at Khadarlis are honestly concerned about those they are trying to help which shows regularly through they're actions. They're compassionate and caring to those who may need their help and who may walk through their door. I've seen some of the work that Khadarlis has done over the years to help the less fortunate and those in need of assistance and the impact of the organization is obvious They've provided books to children who need them among other things. The people who run the organization are also very hospitable to volunteers as well. When I first decided to volunteer I was welcomed with open arms and immediately felt like part of the family. Volunteering for Khadarlis I feel like I really am making a difference in people's lives, including my own. When I come in to Khadarlis I'm always greeted with a smile by the staff. Volunteering for Khadalis is one of the best choices I've made in a very long time.
How do you say thank you to a bunch of people that gave you a chance when other organizations will not accept me for community service via courts. They showed me that they care and wanted to see me complete my service. I have since then completed my hours. I show up there every so often when time permits to help out. Cheeers.
Volunteering at khadarlis is challenging and fun at the same time. Kids can be a handful and being there just makes you appreciate the children and the staff who are all volunteers, I feel that these two women that founded the organization need some recognition and medal for all their hard work in our 02908 zip code.
A fabulous website. Deep gratitude to all at khadarlis. The only organization that I give donation to. You have helped us when we thought there was no one out there that cares. Million Thanks!!!
khadarlis is one of those rare organizations that is not yet well known internationally but is surprisingly solid in its mission, objectives, and staff composition. I've known the staff for more than 2 years and have had some humbling experiences during my trips to participate in some programmatic activities. Anyone who is able to interact with the staff or visit the recipients and their families in the impoverished regions in which khadarlis operates will undoubtedly fall in love with this little NGO known askhadarlis.
Khadarlis is one of the unique Organisation I have come across. Our organisation share the same vision with Khadarlis ,supporting children and young people in Sierra Leone etc.Their website is a masterpiece and with such achievement I can recommend them to any Organisation. They are raising the champions of tomorrow and helping children reach their full potential in life.Khadarlis has given us so much information in the past and always ready to help make a difference in the world. Thanks Bernice Langley
When I first walked in to khadarlis as a volunteer, little did I know it would be one of the most transformative experiences of my life. Serving people in the rural border regions of Sierra Leone and g survivors with an exceptional hard working staff. I learned so much from the community and the local staff both professionally and as a human being.
My husband and I were struggling with homework with our two boys. I mentioned it to Aisha and she said to me with a warm smile, bring them over after school we will help. I have seen my sons grade go from ones and twos to three and four. We are so lucky to have khadarlis in our community.
Khadarlis has helped my family through some rough times in our lives and for that we are thankful for them. Thanks Khadarlis
Khadarlis helped me when I was down and out. I got an apartment through Housing and they helped me with sheets, a blow up bed and lots of house stuff we needed.
Every so often I stop by khadarlis and every so often they are willing to help me. which is more than other organizations I went for help to.
I started at this organization as a volunteer, then staff member, and now proud Board Member. My commitment to this organization wouldn't have spanned over 5 years and counting if I didn't truly believe in the impact khadarlis is having in communities, particularly in the lives of young women and girls. I've been able to witness firsthand how khadarlis approaches their work through an empowerment framework working directly with children, families, and communities. .
Service Learning brought a team of six of Us from Bryant University to Khadarlis. At first we were not sure how the whole system will work, toward to end it was such a wonderful experience that two of us decided to stay on after our project. Great experience and wonderful people.
I've served on the board of this remarkable organization almost since its inception. Founders are an inspiration, and the organization's mission is close to my heart: offering a viable alternative to a better and brighter world; amazing work they do in Sierra Leone.
My children love to be at khadarlis, the parties, the fun games, help with homework, and for me a free after day school program that help me work and stay in School if khadarlis was not in my area I will never be able to go to School. Thanks khadarlis
Life has a way of throwing us a uncertainty in life. Homeless and fighting Our way back to housing, khadarlis was there to help us locate a landlord that understood our situation and could work with us with our current situation. Darlis Gave us all the items we needed to start living in the apartment as we move from shelter to an apartment. For that we will be forever thankful.
I am in a wheelchair & can't handle a full-time job outside the home. Khadarlis has been a great place to get my start in grant writing. I started in May, 2011 & have written 3 grants, so far. It is very interesting work & I'm blessed to have a place that let's me learn as I go. While none of my grants have been officially approved yet I look forward to learning from possible denials. Aisha is the best-her passion, enthusiasm & energy are enviable! She is also very supportive & just wrote a grad school recommendation letter for me. The only real down side is phone tag. But that's inevitable, I live in Arizona. Looking forward to several more years at Khadarlis!
With hopes of making this world a better place, khadarlis work can be seen, felt and what an amazing work they do. To believe in the power of ONE. Each and every one at khadarlis makes you feel as a part of. Great job khadarlis.
. You can read as many books as you want or talk to people for hours about their experiences but until you live it and make that human connection you'll never fully understand. That is the way khadarlis will open your eyes and heart, great Organization.
I was a board member for 10months, 2 of which were as Chair. I do this because I love the organization, its passion, its relentless pursuit of what its belief systems are, their mission and vision of the work they do.
As a retired SCORE member. I nurtured Khadarlis in their beginning stages of their registration for their 501c3. The organization have done a great job making a name for themselves and they are heading in the right direction. More education and awareness will help them a great deal.
Hello khadarlis, thank you for inviting me to write a review about your work. Over the last five years or so khadarlis asked me to be a mentor to them when they first started. Aisha and Darlis are the driving forces behind the great work that they do. I took my job seriously and help them till I got ill two years ago and could not really work. Great organization and striving to succeed. Good luck Khadarlis.
When khadarlis first started in 2007, I was one of the few donors that believed in them. They have proved themselves and hold high esteem in my eyes.
Me and my family were homeless, we were referred to khadrlis by Providence Community Action, they welcomed us and made us feel like we belong and really helped us with household donation. Thanks khadarlis.
This is a wonderful organization that does work in rural Sierra Leone. It's been several years since the devatating civil war and though there has been progress, there is still a lot to be done. Khardalis as an organization has catered to the many needs of these rural communities. There work has ranged from providing clean water in areas that once had none, to empowering women to be equal partners in their communities, to helping to build schools. These are just some of the things Khardalis has done to further progress in an area that needs it desperately. We need more organizations like Khardalis around because the world can use it. Thanks for what you've done, what you are doing, and for all you will do in the future. Why do i appreciate the work that Khardalis has done? Because i have been to some of these areas and seen the needs of these people. It's very needed and they are providing help. Humanity benefits when organizations do the kind of work they do. I know how difficult the work is because i am a member of another Non-profit organization(Kushe Soccer). Continue spreading the love and helping people. They need you, we look up to you, and the world can use more organizations like Khardalis.
Distance does not play a significant role when you're passionate about helping others. Khadarlis clearly validates this saying and Aisha, its inspirator, embodies it. The projects contribute to sustainable development initiatives that come from the local communities Khadarlis serves and thus promote the spirit that is already present but needs an extra push to materialize in the concrete projects that you can witness while walking through the communities Khadarlis helps. As managing director of AMAIDI, an international organization supporting local communities worldwide by adding to the capacity of the organizations that serve these communities, I wholeheartedly support Khadarlis' work and hope that we can work together for a long time to come for the benefit of the people that are assisted in their struggle to escape the negative spiral of poverty and all its ugly faces.
I personally believe that if you have the passion for what you do, then the fruits will be amazing, and that is exactly what happens with Khadarlis for Sierra Leone. Khadarlis has been succesfully shared that passion with all of the people that is part of Khadarlis, because of all the wonderful work they do by helping in so many ways, giving to a whole community all the tools and instructional guide they need to be succesful at surviving and thriving! I admire the work and passion of all the people that is hands on day by day giving their life and soul to others, to our brothers and sisters. I gladly put my grain of sand in the Kadarlis shore.
Since I started working with Khadarlis, I have realised that the lives of many has been touched in a more positive way. khadarlis has been very instrumental in reaching the far distance to helping the needy especially children and the aged. By providing drinking water wells for several villages and disitributing used clothing to displaced population within the region such as Bargbo Chiefdom has immensely helped to alleviate some of the unmet needs faced by these people. Khadarlis has also embarked on sensitising the youths and focused a lot on the benefits of education especially for the girl child. There is a saying that 'if you educate a woman, you have educated a nation'
I worked with Khadarlis for a service learning project this year. Working with them was by far one of the most rewarding activities I have experienced. We hope our project will have a long term positive impact on the organization. Their impact in the providence community is clearly seen as well as their impact in impoverished communities around the world. Overall this is an amazing organization that deserves more recognition, I definitely recommend volunteering and contributing to Khadarlis' mission.
I have helped Khadarlis as part of a Service Learning project for a management course and i have been amazed at how much Khadarlis does for the community and Sierra Leone. We have loved doing whatever we can to help Khadarlis and have gotten much out of our project and is very self fulfilling.
I am currently doing a service learning project with khadarlis for my management 200 class from bryant university. I have enjoyed working with them thoughout the project. During the project I have worked on there social media campaign, specifically Facebook, Twitter, and linkedin. I have also contacted businesses around the providence smithfield Rhode island area inorder to establish connections with them. As of now Target in lincoln, ri have donated a 25$ gift card to khadarlis.
Khadarlis is an amazing nonprofit organization. They do amazing things for the local community and for the people in Sierra Leone. I have been working with Khadarlis for the past 3 months for a service learning project and it is clear that they are very dedicated to their work. They benifit the lives of many people and deserve more recognition.
We, Team Khadarlis have been working with Khadarlis for 3 months now, and we have learnt so much for the volunteers, the kids, and the whole family atmosphere. They are doing a great job helping the Sierra Leone community and the Providence Community. They are truly one of a kind. Team Khadarlis is a service learning team from Bryant University, and we have helped with Social Media, Raising awareness, and sending resources into Sierra Leone to help the kids and families live better lives.
My humanitarian effort is interested in the well-beings of not just those in his native Sierra Leone but throughout the world and the different West Africa Countries like Liberia, Guinea, Ghana, Gambia, Nigeria , Senegal and ivory Cost.
As an international Human Rights Activist , I have cultivated life of fighting every day to uphold the rule of law in my home country because i believe it is the strongest weapon against dictator and a formidable guild to good citizenship in all nations. I have be following the incredible work that this great charity is doing in the US and my home country Sierra Leone
I come to khadarlis to do my homework. After we are done doing homework we study we are allowed to play games and talk.
i come to khadarlis to do my homework. After that if i finish my homework and i get most of the questions right we will play games and have fun. Also when we are done we practice our times table to get better.
i like to come here to get help with problems im having and im able to use the internet to do various things.
I've been donating IT services for the past several months to Khadarlis. It is absolutely amazing what these people accomplish on so little. They truly care about their community, and strive to do all they can with the little that they have. I strongly urge anyone to support this worthwhile organization.
Khadarlis is an amazing organization filled with such loving, caring and generous individuals. The work they do for the Rhode Island community and those in Sierra Leone is very admirable and I will continue to volunteer with them because of that.
Khadarlis is such a positive space to be in. Aisha is such a super motivated ambitious leader that it is hard not to get passionate about the cause Khadarlis is trying to achieve. In my time at khadarlis I can honestly say that is has been my absolute pleasure !!
I am just short of words! My volunteering to serve Khadarlis for Sierra Leone is one of the huge sacrifices that I enjoy giving to a noble cause like what lies in the mission of the organisation. Having listened to the story behind the creation of this nonprofit, I was glued to help my own little way to move the initiative to the next level that would enable the mission to fulfill its objectives for those vulnerable groups out there in those obscure and remote villages in Sierra Leone. Khadarlis role as the voice of the voiceless, the advocate for those vulnerable groups- the rural women who bear the brunt of the worlds' poverty, those orphaned children from the ruins of the Blood Diamond Conflict, all need to tell their stories to the world and Khadarlis for Sierra Leone championing such noble causes to improve the lives of others is just irresistible for me.
Khadarlis for Sierra Leone is an amazing organization for several reasons. The first that comes to mind is the devotion and commitment that its founders and members have. From day one, I understood how much of a difference I was going to make in the lives of those living in Sierra Leone. Khadarlis was very young when I volunteered, however, my team and I (we were working through Bryant University's Service Learning Project for Management) were able to accomplish much more than we expected. Aisha easily showed us how important Khadarlis for Sierra Leone's mission was and still is. We caught the "Khadarlis bug," and some of our team members actually continued to volunteer past the semester's end. Finally, I want to emphasize how professional, flexible, energized and motivating Khadarlis for Sierra Leone is. I am so appreciative for the opportunity to work with Khadarlis, and I know many others who have had similar experiences. As soon as I have more free time, I'm going to volunteer again!
Khadarlis was one of those perfect situations that happened at a great time! I was looking for a place to further a personal mission to help others in the world. On my search for a place to volunteer I came across Khadarlis. I can honestly say Khadarlis has been like family! They welcomed me right in, and working alongside them has been nothing short of amazing. I am so happy I came across them, and I'm so excited about what the future will bring for Khadarlis !!!
They instantly felt like family. I have just begun and I can't wait to see what this experience will bring.
Although Khadarlis is a small organization, it has big plans and objectives. Everyone involved -- from the administrative assistant to the founder -- is dedicated to Khadarlis' mission. Since the organization will now serve the local community, I only see growth an new opportunity to help those in need. If you're interested in giving back and feeling inspired, I recommend Khadarlis to start. Regardless of your skills, you'll be able to apply any talent to a great cause!
It's rare that you find a non-profit that works to improve the situation in faraway countries that actually gets things done. Khadarlis does. Even though most of their work has been focused in a relatively small group of villages, but their list of accomplishments- new dwellings, new library for the school, basket of food for every household. Plus they also work to help out their local community by allowing visitors to use their computers for job searches and homework and stuff like that. Khadarlis is small, but it's growing, and the staff is very friendly and helpful. They're also very open to ideas and feedback from volunteers, even ones who are just starting out. Definitely a good place to volunteer if you want to make a difference and learn how to run organizations.
I found Khadarlis while browsing the web for volunteer opportunities. As someone who is looking to break into philanthropic work in the future, I thought volunteering with a small "start-up"like Khadarlis would be a great experience and give me insight into the kind of work it takes to start a nonprofit organization. When I went in for my interview with Aisha, I was blown away by the work they are doing for Sierra Leone. This kind of grassroots work is inspiring and hugely impactful. To me, even to be able to write blog posts for them, highlighting the issues they face and the work they are doing, means a lot. The people I have worked with there are helpful, kind and understanding, and I have loved being part of this organization since I started there in the beginning of this year.
