Red Cross Projects in Sierra Leone

• Starting in 1991 Sierra Leone was engulfed in a gruesome civil war for almost 10 years:

• Some 80,000 civilians were killed.

• 8,000 more maimed and with amputated limbs, including vast numbers of women and children.

• Over 10,000 children were abducted and involved in the conflict, often as slaves or child soldiers.

• Almost 85% of the houses were destroyed.
