DETRIMENTAL TRANSFORMATION
Brian John Kargbo has been working in Tonka Community for over thirteen years where he has been advocating and lobbying for the community people. To do this, he visits the village regularly to find out about the current challenges, which include frequently getting ill from the local water source since the nearby factory opening up. Brian takes two community members to SiLNoRF, the advocacy group that has been supporting them, to voice their grievances. Can the NGO help them so that Tonka will have access to clean and healthy water ever again?

COME, I’LL SHOW YOU THE COUNTRY OF ORIGIN
SIERRA LEONE
Sierra Leone (officially the Republic of Sierra Leone) borders Guinea in the north and Liberia in the southeast. Freetown is the country’s capital and economic centre. English is the official language of this former British colony, but most people speak Krio.
>/br>
Over a thousand schools were destroyed during the civil war that lasted from 1991 to 2002. Following the Ebola epidemic (2014-2016), the country is now working to rebuild state and social infrastructure. Both Sierra Leone’s constitution and the 2004 Education Act mandate nine years of compulsory basic education, but full compliance is not possible due to a lack of schools and teachers. The literacy rate of the adult population in 2015 was 48.1% (women: 37.7%, men: 58.7%).
>/br>
Sierra Leone has a great variety of media. After a long debate, 2013 saw the passing of a freedom of information law. Sierra Leone ranked 64th out of 180 countries on the 2024 World Press Freedom Index, published by Reporters without Borders.
