Developing the Health Link

Following her visit to Bo, Dr Nnedi Dede-Konkwo met Warwick Rotary to present the findings of her needs assessment (see her report). Local Rotary clubs have a long history of providing assistance to Sierra Leone, with some projects in association with One World Link including improving sanitation and water supplies.

Owl has also had discussions with South Warwickshire Health Trust and Warwick University and there is potential for co-operation with Njala University in Sierra Leone. We are still at the planning stage but there is great potential in the link.

Meanwhile we have received a generous donation of £1,000 from SPAN (St Peters Aid for the Needy) as a starter for a fund to be used specifically for the health programme.
