All As One's mission is to respond to the critical dilemma of the orphaned, abandoned, abused and destitute children and adolescents in Sierra Leone.

The organisation provides rehabilitation, medical care and education for thousands of young lives.

The donation forms part of DP World's 'Moving Lives' community programme which supports organisations across the globe that work hard to improve the lives of those suffering from challenging physical, economic or humanitarian situations.

Anil Singh, Senior Vice President and Managing Director of DP World's Africa Region presented the cheque today and commented, "All As One is an organisation that performs a vital role in a country whose people have experienced terrible suffering. DP World operates across many continents and countries including Western Africa, and we are pleased to be able to help in this small way to support this important work."

All As One works on the basis that with the right opportunities, destitute children and adolescents can become self-sufficient and responsible adults. These opportunities enrich not only individual children, but are passed on to the community, the nation, and future generations.

Carol Geisler, a representative of All As One said, "We are very grateful to DP World for their donation. We rely heavily on donations, and it is very pleasing to see organisations like DP World provide support to the communities in the region in which they operate."
