Why we do it
Over the ten years that Sierra Leone was at war, 1991–2002, thousands of children were murdered, tortured and left destitute, mentally and physically abused, deprived of education, care and basic human rights. Tens of thousands died and more than 2 million people were displaced, many of whom were children. Many schools were destroyed or vandalised. ..more
Where we do it
Sierra Leone, in West Africa, emerged from a decade of civil war in 2002. Several years on, the country still faces the challenges of reconstruction. It remains bottom of UN's league for human development with poverty and unemployment remaining major obstacles to advancement. As a result of the devastation caused by the war, vast numbers of young people continue to face a future in Sierra Leone that is without education or oppurtunity and lack the vital support needed to realise and achieve their full potential. ..more
