The country is endowed with mineral resources such as diamonds,gold,and rutile. However, it is one of the poorest countries in the world. Child mortality and illiteracy rates are also among the highest in the world. Civil war and insurgency have led to untold inhuman crimes against civilians. Thousands of innocent people have been killed and two thirds of the civilian population are displaced refugees.
Life is hard because basic necessities are difficult to acquire.
Sierra Leone is a disintegrating country. She is desperately in need of help to arrive at a lasting peace. We advocate for reconciliation, rehabilitation, reconstruction particularly for the children who as combatants or victims, have disproportionately borne the brunt of this evil war.
