Plan Sierra Leone
Plan has been working in Sierra Leone since 1976, helping poor children to access their rights to education, health, livelihood, sanitation and protection.
Our programmes benefit 7,000 children in 1,126 communities across the country.
Currently, we are focusing our efforts on tackling malaria. Sierra Leone has one of the world’s highest infant mortality rates, and 70% of these deaths are caused by the disease. We are implementing a malaria prevention and control project with the help of an investment by the European Commission and Plan Germany of more than 1,000,000 euros over a 5 year period.
