This project endeavors to promote an atmosphere in Sierra Leone conducive to sustainable peace. Children impacted by war need to receive psycho-social counselling so they can adapt to peacetime society. Vocational training will help to ensure that they become contributing members of their communities.
Amputees require counseling in order to peacefully come to terms with their disabilities.
Occupational therapy will help foster in these victims a new hope for the future. This type of rehabilitation will help them to once again become contributing community members, and this will hopefully lay a foundation helping them to forgive their former adversaries. UNDP further states that about 700,000 people sought refugee in Guinea and Liberia. It is also estimated that approximately 2,500 people have endured either severe machete lacerations or permanently debilitating gun-shot wounds. Additionally, about 5000 children between the ages of 7 and 14 years were enlisted into military groups to serve either as combatants, child labourers or sex slaves.
