Creating Together

Who we are

Munda is a common family name in Sierra Leone and means “ours” in the Mende language. The name honors our uncle, Munda Rogers, who devoted his life to helping others. During the civil war, he opened his home to families fleeing conflict and shared everything he had with children and young people in need of a place to belong.

Munda Foundation carries this legacy forward through projects that build community and create opportunities. We believe in art and music as forces for development — not as charity, but as collaboration, sharing, and creation. Our initiatives are developed together with local partners in Sierra Leone and Norway, with the goal of giving more children and youth a space to grow, express themselves, and be seen.

• Music education and instrument library

  We collect and distribute instruments and offer music training as a way to foster learning, joy, and connection.
• Art workshops and creative gatherings

  Local workshops and open spaces where children and young people can express themselves through art and craft.
• Collaboration with schools and volunteers

  We collaborate with local teachers, artists, and volunteers to anchor our activities within the community.
• Equipment distribution and capacity building

  From instruments and art materials to training and organizational support — we strengthen local initiatives that build the future.
