About Us

What started as a humble humanitarian effort has grown into a Christ-led mission, reaching hearts and communities in
Sierra Leone and India.

Our Story

ILF started in 2007 as a humanitarian outreach to underprivileged areas in India and Nepal. ILF has since evolved into a faith-based ministry currently active in Sierra Leone and India.

Our vision

To empower, engage, and grow leaders who may lead their communities out of the depths of poverty, and inspire future generations in a Gospel-centered environment.

our Approach

ILF’s holistic approach to Christian ministry is to serve underprivileged communities, addressing their basic needs in both education and health through various programs.

ENGAGE.  EQUIP.  EMPOWER.  SERVE.

Our role is to ENGAGE, EQUIP, and EMPOWER local leaders so they can SERVE and minster to their communities in a gospel centered environment.
