Donate to the Bo Children's Hospital Sierra Leone

Globally, infant and maternal mortality rates remain among the highest in Sierra Leone. The major causes of illness within the country are preventable, if access to technology and medical help is available. Most deaths within the country are attributed to nutritional deficiencies, lack of access to clean water, pneumonia, diarrhoeal diseases, anaemia, malaria, tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS. Modern medicine, technology and improved education can improve the quality of life. Your help is needed.

The Bo Children's Hospital Foundation is always looking for people and organizations to help participate in fund raising events for the hospital. The Foundation can assist with providing electronic donation facilities through Everyday Hero. If you know of an event or want to raise funds by holding your own event, please contact us so that we can create a donation page for you.

July 2015 Update

The latest update from the hospital. A very poor revenue month for BCH. Farmers (mainly subsistence) put all their seed rice to the ground. They present with their sick children with no money left to to pay their medical bills. You're left with no alternative but to manage or they die.

Fast approaching the second year of operation

We are fast approaching the second year of operation of the Bo Children’s Hospital. During the last 18 months we have seen a steady growth in patients while significant steps have been made in transitioning the management of the hospital to the local community. In its first year (April 2012 -2013) some 2000 patients were seen and only 1 death was reported. The second year has seen a steady flow of patients attending the outpatient clinic and the 11-bed ward being fully utilised for admissions.
