Where we do it

Sierra Leone, West Africa

  • Former British colony
  • 5.7M people (UN 2006)
  • 20 tribes
  •  Nation with beautiful beaches, forests,  mountains, fertile soil, and many mineral deposits

 

 

 

 

 

 

But:

  • One of the poorest  countries in the world
  • Low levels of literacy
  • Poor infrastructure  (roads, water and electricity supply)
  • An education system struggling to recover from many years of neglect
