They asked: we're responding
We've been working flat out to make big changes in Kroo
Bay. The people of Kroo Bay were sick of living in appalling
conditions. They want to give their children a better,
healthier future.
With your support we’ve:
- Renovated the rundown clinic
- Cleared and banked the Crocodile river to prevent it flooding
- Built a walkway across the river so people don’t have to wade through the filthy water
- Trained 270 Blue Flag Volunteers to identify and treat cases of diarrhoea
- Provided four large rubbish bins so the community can safely dispose of rubbish
- Set up a children’s health club so children can better look after their health

The worst place in the world?
Kroo Bay is built on pile of rubbish. Devastating floods ravage the community and bring deadly diseases - and most people can't afford to pay for medicine at the rundown clinic. Kroo Bay's children are dying needlessly. 1 in 4 children die before their fifth birthday in Sierra Leone. Find out more about these appalling facts.
Help save even more children’s lives
Kroo Bay’s a microcosm of problems people face all over Sierra Leone and around the world. Nearly 10 million children die each year from illnesses we know how to prevent — that’s 3 children every second. We have to stop this, and with your support we can.
