UNICEF Sierra Leone has urgently called for increased support and funding to address the critical issue of sanitation in the country. With a mere fraction of Sierra Leone’s national budget currently allocated to sanitation, a staggering 93% of the population is left without access to basic sanitation facilities.

UNICEF’s advocacy emphasizes the fundamental connection between sanitation and the well-being of Sierra Leone’s children. The lack of adequate sanitation poses a severe threat to the health and development of the nation’s youth, making it imperative to prioritize investment in the Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) sector.

The dire situation demands immediate attention and collaborative efforts from both national and international stakeholders. UNICEF urges governments, non-governmental organizations, and the global community to rally together in support of increased funding for the WASH sector. By bridging the financial gap, it is believed that significant strides can be made to ensure that every child in Sierra Leone has access to essential sanitation facilities, promoting a healthier and more prosperous future.

The call to action is not just about addressing a basic necessity but about safeguarding the well-being and potential of an entire generation. UNICEF Sierra Leone’s advocacy underscores the urgency of prioritizing the WASH sector in budgetary allocations and development agendas. As the international community joins hands to respond to this call, there is hope that positive change will be catalyzed, fostering improved living conditions and a brighter future for Sierra Leone’s children.
