Who We Are

Keep It Fax is a small charitable organisation formed in 2012 to make a difference to a targeted group of Sierra Leonean children, with particular focus on girls. Since our conception we have provided scholarships and made improvements to the schools we work with. We have also provided ad hoc assistance to Sierra Leone in times of crises, such as during the largescale Ebola outbreak. In 2019 we hope to support orphaned children to find foster arrangements.

If you’re wondering why we’re called Keep It ‘FAX’? FAX is an indigenous word which roughly translates as ‘positive’ or ‘real’ in English. The message behind the name is ‘let’s keep things moving positively in the right direction’.

All of our activities have been funded and organised thanks to the efforts of a group of full-time and part-time volunteers. More than 90% of the funds raised go direct to helping children in Sierra Leone, as our small scale and volunteer-based governing board means we have almost no overheads.
