Sierra Leone’s recent history has
been overshadowed by a bloody ten-year civil war
which resulted in the death of 50,000 people. The
conflict displaced half of its population and
destroyed the country’s infrastructure.
Vital services such as health and social care,
water, sanitation and education remain deeply
affected. In January 2003 Sierra Leone celebrated
its first year of peace in over a decade; the
country is now safe but many areas are still
devastated. |
