To support government efforts to stop the spread of COVID-19, Save the Children is embarking on a Mask Up Campaign.

Starting June 2020, we are calling on all staff, children and organisations we work with to ALWAYS Mask Up at the office and in public places.

This campaign aims to raise awareness on the benefits of using a face mask to protect others as well as ourselves from COVID - 19.

On the 22^nd May 2020, International Partners and donors in Sierra Leone held a virtual meeting with President Bio to give an update on interventions and provide recommendations to strengthen the fight against COVID 19.
