They asked: we're responding
The people of Kroo Bay are sick of living in appalling conditions. They want to give their children a better, healthier future. They've asked us to help them.
Your help will make it happen.
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.
Already this year, we’ve built a walkway to stop people having to wade through the septic river. During last year’s devastating flooding that killed 37 people, we began to help the community bank the filthy Crocodile River and now we’re working to strengthen and extend those banks. We also trained 240 volunteers to identify and treat cases of diarrhoea. See what we’ve done so far.
Our big plan
We’ll renovate the rundown clinic, we’ll train more community health volunteers and provide the supplies and equipment they need. We’re supporting the government to make healthcare free, and we’re campaigning to stem the endless flow of rubbish into Kroo Bay. There’s so much more we want to do. Read our big plan.
