Our organization's commitment to the people of Sierra Leone is very strong. It now seems that the war is over and the people of Sierra Leone are working very hard at putting the trauma of the past eight years behind them. This project endeavors to promote an atmosphere in Sierra Leone conducive to sustainable peace. Children impacted by war need to receive psycho-social counseling 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 productive community members, and this will hopefully lay a foundation that will help them to forgive their former adversaries. This will enable the displaced persons move from open camps, schools and clinics to proper campsites with adequate shelter. The campsites also make adequate provision for the supply of safe water, proper sanitation and the supply of food rations. This will in turn contribute to the reduction of malnutrition and deaths from preventable diseases especially among children under five years of age.
