Story
Following the devastating mudslide in a suburb of Freetown in Sierra Leone (Regent) which has claimed more than 400 lives (600 still missing); the Conservation Society of Sierra Leone has initiated a targeted emergency humanitarian support effort to a small group of affected families. CSSL want to keep their task manageable whilst making a significant impact that they can track, monitor and continue beyond the immediate tragedy. The target beneficiaries of this campaign will include single mothers, orphaned children and families who have lost a family member.

7 years agoI took this photo in May of this year, it shows the area (and with arrow) before the mud/landslide and the surrounding pressures of deforestation, building, rock quarrying, 'stone breaking'...

7 years agoI was able to visit Sierra Leone recently, and with CSSL, visited the site of this disaster... there are so many risks around of more, similar disasters, from Lumley Beach I could see two other mudslides up in the hills... I hope there can be some actions to prevent unsustainable land uses and such disasters from happening again...

In my work in international conservation and development I support CSSL - The Conservation Society of Sierra Leone and I am also a member. CSSL responded immediately to the mudslide on 14th August and works to support those affected.
