Kroo Bay, the largest slum in Sierra Leone, is home to some of the most disenfranchised children in the world. Built on a giant landfill, children scour through heaps of garbage searching for scraps of metal or plastic to sell. Our program will provide vocational training workshops in batik fabric-dyeing, t-shirt and sign stencil printing, crochet, and embroidery for 50 orphaned youth in Kroo Bay. These workshops will provide the children with the materials and skills they need to survive.

In 2009 Greatest Goal Ministries opened a free healthcare clinic in Freetown at the request of Dr. Alhassan Sesay, Director of Hospital Services for the Ministry of Health and Sanitation. In October of 2011 we were able to open our doors 5 days a week, in part because of donations from this Globalgiving site. In 2011 our clinic diagnosed and treated over 6,000 patients.

Proven insecticide-treated nets save lives by protecting them from mosquito bites and the killer disease of malaria. Project also provides preventive anti-malaria tablets to Sierra Leoneans. The nets are useful particularly for protecting vulnerable children who are less resistant to the malaria. Additionally, when people fall sick, there is considerable lost time and loss of productivity for all members of the family. By providing a net, you are helping to support economic development.
