Welbodi Partnership is working to improve child and maternal health in Sierra Leone, where 1 in 10 children dies before their 5th birthday and maternal death rates are some of the highest in the world. Since 2008 Welbodi has been working in Sierra Leone to address these challenges.

Story

The Ola During Children’s Hospital does not have an x-ray department. Patients in need of x-rays have to travel across town, a journey of up to one hour, which leads to a delay in the diagnostic process. Seriously ill patients cannot make this journey and miss out on these crucial tests and therefore, optimal treatment. 

The total cost of setting up the x-ray department (purchasing and shipping of equipment, installation in a uniquely modified container, human resources, radiation protection approval, etc) is approximately £175,000 (USD 280,000).     

This is a unique way for you to help the children of Sierra Leone!
