In line with its mission to promote dignity, inclusion, and improved living standards for vulnerable populations, the One Love Salone Foundation, in partnership with the Dorwontony Organization for the Aged (DOfA), has constructed a toilet facility for elderly residents in the Grafton Community. This initiative is a testament to the Foundation’s unwavering commitment to community development and its focus on addressing the often-overlooked needs of citizens in that part of the country.

The significance of this donation goes beyond infrastructure, it restores dignity, enhances public health, and reinforces the value of caring for our elders. Many aged individuals in Grafton face mobility challenges and lack access to safe, hygienic sanitation facilities. By providing a dedicated toilet facility, the Foundation is helping to reduce the risk of disease, improve daily comfort, and promote a cleaner environment for all.

Moreover, this project highlights the power of collaboration between civil society organizations and community stakeholders. It serves as a model for how targeted interventions can make a lasting impact, especially when driven by compassion and a deep understanding of local needs.

The One Love Salone Foundation believes that every citizen, regardless of age, deserves to live in dignity. This donation is a step toward building a more inclusive and caring society one where the elderly are not forgotten, but honoured and supported.

Distribution of Foam Mattresses to Thirty Aged Members in the Magazine Cut community within Freetown: Additionally, in a compassionate effort to uplift the lives of vulnerable elderly citizens, thirty aged members of the Magazine Cut community have received brand-new foam mattresses and bed bug preventive medication. This timely intervention was made possible through the generous support of the CEO and Founder of One Love Salone Foundation, Hon. Nabeela Tunis, and the dedicated outreach of the Dorwontony Organization for the Aged (DOfA).

This donation holds profound significance. For many of the beneficiaries, sleeping conditions had deteriorated to unsafe and undignified levels, worn-out mattresses infested with bed bugs posed serious health risks and robbed them of basic comfort. By providing clean, supportive bedding and essential hygiene supplies, this initiative directly improves their physical well-being and restores a sense of dignity and care.

Beyond the material support, this act sends a powerful message that our elders are not forgotten. It reflects a growing commitment to inclusive development one that recognizes the needs of all age groups and ensures that no one is left behind. The intervention also climaxes the importance of targeted social welfare programs that address overlooked but critical aspects of daily life, such as safe sleeping conditions.

In conclusion, the initiatives by One Love Salone Foundation and Dorwontony Organization for the Aged (DOfA) demonstrate a meaningful commitment to supporting elderly residents in Freetown. By providing essential services and infrastructure, such as toilet facilities and foam mattresses, these organizations promote dignity, comfort, and well-being.
