More information
The "Swiss-Sierra Leone Development Foundation" is a non-governmental organization (NGO) operating in the Western and Northern Regions of Sierra Leone. We have a country representative and a headquarters. The hospital at Magbenteh and the TFC have a general manager and a management team, as does the hospital in Lungi. The Magbenteh hospital personnel is made up of 127 people. We employ 40 people in Lungi. Click on the links below to see some photos of these employees. Since its creation in 1996, the association has set up: - medical and educational programs including the financing of surgical operations; - a sponsorship program for schooling of children; - the distribution of food and clothing for extremely poor populations and/or those with leprocy; - basic agricultural programs and a small scale humanitarian support service. The hospital at Magbenteh, the Therapeutic Feeding Center (TFC) and the hospital in Lungi are managed by our association. The hospital was built for the poorest populations in Sierra Leone. The hospital in Lungi, Bai Bureh Memorial Hospital, was already caring for this sector of the population before we took over its management. We will continue these efforts in both of these locations. The TFC mainly takes care of babies and children under 5 years of age and teaches parents to better feed their families. In order to be able to continue providing medical care to these vulnerable populations of Sierra Leone, SSLDF needs to find the necessary funds needed to continue running these programs.
