Safe learning in COVID-19 response and recovery is the right of every child in Sierra Leone

Freetown, June 9, 2021

Today is International Children’s Day. As we start the countdown to June 16, Day of the African Child, we commemorate Children at a time where lives have been disrupted or lost to COVID-19. This June, Save the Children Sierra Leone amplifies the voices of children in communities across the country, sharing their stories of the impact of the pandemic on their lives and their learning.
