Landslide and flooding tragedy – 14th August 2017 Regent Village

Landslide tragedy in Regent

The village of Regent is at the heart of our charity, it is where our charity began its work in 2006 …. in the early hours of Monday the 14th August a huge landslide took the lives of hundreds of people including scores of children. A huge wall of mud and boulders fell through Sugar Loaf Mountain in Regent engulfing everything in its path, hundreds died and hundreds are missing and thousands are homeless. Torrential rain coupled with deforestation which is common in this area which has become home to thousands of people over the recent years as they move away from the overpopulated capital of Freetown are contributing factors to this tragedy unfolding.

With your help we have been supporting the community in Regent since 2006, building new schools, providing access to safe water, latrines, school materials and health care. We will continue to support this needy community and especially those worse affected by this terrible tragedy on a long term basis.

Anyone wanting to make a difference to the lives of those affected by this terrible tragedy is welcome to make online donations directly to our bank account or through our Just Giving page. We have committed to help those children that have become orphans and that have lost everything and are appealing to supporters to sponsor these vulnerable and needy children on a monthly basis.
Thank you for your support, every penny we receive will hit the ground, 100% guaranteed.
