Support Sports in Sierra Leone (SSiSL) uses sports to engage youth in Sierra Leone and provides assistance to ameliorate the issues that affect them. Issues such as the lack of opportunities to engage in organized sports activities; food insecurity; challenges to the pursuit of education; and, lack of civic pride and responsibility.

The Hill Station Tennis Club is a project of Support Sports in Sierra Leone (SSiSL). Under this project, 35 underprivileged boys and girls from the Hill Station neighborhood in Freetown, Sierra Leone, are taught to play tennis. Coaching is provided by volunteer coaches from the Sierra Leone Tennis Association (SLTA). The next session of the project runs from January 2025 to June 2025. Lessons are once weekly on Saturdays. The project aims to enrich the children's lives by introducing them to an organized sports activity. SSiSL provides tennis equipment and tennis shoes for the children, water for hydration during sessions, and a hot lunch after practice.

Educational activities on protecting the biodiversity of Sierra Leone, protecting the Sierra Leonean environment, and promoting Sierra Leonean culture are part of the program.

At the end of the program, each child receives a backpack full of school supplies. Each household that the children come from receives a 110-pound bag of rice, the staple food of Sierra Leone. This bag of rice will feed a family of four for a month.
