In Sierra Leone, the Ebola epidemic is still in full force. There have been 3,156 lab confirmed cases, and 973 lab confirmed deaths, but actual numbers are likely to be higher because of unreported deaths. These numbers are going up all the time. While exact statistics are still being collated, current estimates suggest that at least 300 children in Sierra Leone have been orphaned due to Ebola. 
These children are being cared for in temporary child centres, while longer term solutions are worked towards. The highest priority is to reunite them with their extended family, or if not possible, finding other care solutions. SOS Children’s Villages, a UK registered charity, is already helping to care for 163 orphaned children in Sierra Leone, ensuring they recieve basic necessities and care.
