Strategic Partnerships for Sustainable Faith & Community Development

The Church of Emmanuel Spiritual Healing Ministry (CESHM), founded in 1952 in Southern Sierra Leone, is a structured Christian ministry and community-based institution committed to holistic transformation through worship, discipleship, and compassionate service.

With 24 active branches across 14 chiefdoms in Moyamba District and outreach presence in Northern Sierra Leone and Liberia, CESHM operates as both a spiritual network and a community development actor serving vulnerable populations.

We invite strategic partnerships with international donors, philanthropic institutions, faith-based funding agencies, development organisations, and impact-driven investors who share our commitment to sustainable, community-centred transformation.
