Since Monday 14th August, over 600 Sierra Leoneans have lost their lives due to floods and landslides in Freetown. Thousands more have been displaced.

To raise funds to provide food, water, medication and shelter to those affected by this natural disaster, ACCESS TO EDUCATION SIERRA LEONE has decided to launch an Emergency Appeal.

Having assessed the situation on the ground, our national coordinator, Mohammed Papa Bangura, will use all donations to provide affected communities with what they need the most.

Any donation, however small, is much appreciated.

-As little as £5 could provide 10 people with clean drinking water for a week.

-£10 could provide a household with a new cooking stove

-£25 could provide enough rice (50kg) to feed a family of 5 for at least a month

-£50 could provide 5 people with typhoid medication, or 10 people with new clothes

-£100 could provide a family with the necessary materials to help build a new home

We will ensure that every pound you give will be used as efficiently and effectively as possible to significantly improve the livelihoods of those affected by this tragedy.

Thank you in advance for all your help.
