KEY CHALLENGES
Our Challenges in Education
Sierra Leone is a republican state located along the west coast of Africa, and it has over 7 million inhabitants. Unfortunately, only 43.21% of this population is literate; 10% out of the 43.21% represents the foreign nationals. Sierra Leone became an independent state on the 27th day of April 1961.
Today, when you travel to the countryside parts of Sierra Leone, where you can reach big towns and villages located at reasonable distances on the forest floor, you will doubtlessly find hundreds and hundreds of school-age-children there who are not going to school. Indeed, out of every 500 school-age-children you meet there, only 2% attend school, the rest are kept at home by their respective rural poor parents for house chores and village communal labourers.
Besides, the problems of high level of illiteracy, you will further discover that the locals there, class dismissed, do suffer seriously from abject poverty, acute food shortage, poor infrastructure, poor health and unfortunate housing conditions.
