Sierra Leone – Partners In Health

Support for the health care system operated by Partners In Health in Sierra Leone

COUNTRY / PROBLEM

Sierra Leone is located in West Africa. Poverty is ubiquitous in this country, with nearly half of the population of working age engaged in agriculture for their own needs. The country has significant mineral, agricultural, and fish resources. It is still recovering from a crisis resulting from the civil war that ended in the early 2000s, though.

In 2014, an Ebola epidemic broke out in Sierra Leone, which caused a significant drop in economic activity. Although the World Health Organization announced the end of the epidemic in late 2015, it was not until 2017 that economic growth was recorded.

ORGANISATION

Founded in 1987, Partners In Health (PIH) is a non-governmental organisation that specialises in providing medical assistance. The organisation operates based on the idea that in order to solve a problem, it is necessary to address its cause, and, in developing countries, often the main cause of diseases is poverty. Therefore, PIH combines medical activities with other kinds of aid.

PROJECTS

Kulczyk Foundation provided funds to Partners In Health in Sierra Leone for the care for Acute Needs Program beneficiaries, who include people in need of food, transport, and all other forms of social support.

Social awareness programs

Our aid projects help us understand the problems the modern world is facing. Our documentaires and educational programs drive change across societies .

Documentaries

Our documentaries shine a light on community problems in different parts of the world, and present organisations and local unsung heros who benefit from our support. In Poland, the Domino Effect TV series is created in cooperation with TVN - the largest private television in Poland. Through this work, we are able to reach those who might have never heard about a specific issue or the way in which they can help. This partnership results in a number of long form documentaries, which have been recognised at international film festivals. As part of our partnership with the CNN Freedom Project, we also produce a series of documentaries for English speaking audience. The series explores the issues of modern slavery and human trafficking, and is regularly broadcast on CNN International.

Educational programs

Since the beginning of its existence, the Kulczyk Foundation has been working to shape the socio-emotional competences of children and adolescents. We prepare unique lesson plans adapted to various stages of education. These focus on explainining the complex world of universal values and emotions, encourage reflection and the ability to draw conclusions. Ultimately help to build knowledge about ourselves and the world, and to shape attitudes towards the reality that surrounds us. As part of this commitement, we also provide workshops, conferences for teachers and faculty staff. We believe that wise education, implemented in a spirit of freedom and empathy, is a basic component of sustainable development for every human being, as well as a chance for a good start in adult life. No matter where they are from.
