The COVID-19 or Coronavirus crisis has made a tremendous cross-sectoral impact across most of the countries around the world. The entire social, economic, and cultural structure is gradually transforming into an unexpected reality. Poor communities in Sierra Leone have become more vulnerable to the basic issues of livelihood, hunger, housing, and shelter. There are currently over 1,900 confirmed cases with 69 deaths in the country and the numbers keep rising in an alarming fashion.
During the period under review, the Advocacy Initiative for Development (AID) Sierra Leone embarked on community awareness-raising campaigns on the prevention and spread of the COVID-19 diseases. The organization has also helped to reduce panicking and disinformation caused by the spread of COVID-19 disease and provided basic resources such as masks, assorted food items to the poorest, and the needy in Freetown.
We are grateful for those who donated their hard-earned cash to this project via the GlobalGiving platform. Together, we're making a positive impact in the lives of those who are directly or indirectly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic in Sierra Leone.
