2015, Ebola crisis, Sierra Leone. A tough education in inequality. Tonight our little charity paid c.£2k to fund eight very disadvantaged children affected by Ebola for another year at university. Last month we funded >60 at school. Thank you supporters.

Dreadful news from Sierra Leone. Our thoughts and prayers with all those affected. Checking that none of our Wharf Kids families affected.🇸🇱

A huge explosion happened after an oil truck collided with another vehicle in Sierra Leone's capital, Freetown. At least 84 people have died many of whom were trapped in their vehicles.

That daunting but exciting moment as we start work on another house. This one for three girls ages 8-28 who lost their mother and baby sister to Ebola in 2015 and currently live in really challenging conditions in Magazine Wharf.

Enhancing lives, one small step at a time 🇸🇱

Jenneh A. Ebola survivor. Ebola orphan. The child who inspired @WharfKids. This week we committed to starting the construction of a permanent home for her, her sister and her half sister! All thanks to our awesome donors!! Thank you gorgeous people. 🇸🇱

Desperately sad - huge fire ripped through Susan’s Bay two nights ago. Not Magazine Wharf thankfully, but are tragic reminder of the fire risks in these unplanned and overcrowded housing areas. Thoughts with all those affected.

Happy New Year folks. With schools reopened in Sierra Leone its time to refurbish and redecorate our little After School Class in Magazine Wharf. Huge thanks to Rotary Club of London and Rotary Club Faringdon whose generous support enables the running and refurbishment ❤️

Back to school. Well, After School Classes. With some good COVID-19 measures in place. Nice to see at least one of our Ebola survivor beneficiaries in these pictures. #MagazineWharf #Freetown #SierraLeone #AfterEbola

[WHARF KIDS @WharfKids]

Wishing Samuel T, Memunata K and many others every success in their National Primary School Exams tomorrow! Delighted to see #SierraLeone managing to run these despite the COVID-19 measures. #AfterEbola #Freetown @HazlegrovePrep

Encouraging signs. Good to read this about a country that has suffered so much in recent years. Still some way to go, but I’m heartened that’s things are moving in a better direction. #SierraLeone

#SierraLeone reduced overall poverty and deprivations fastest in the world despite fighting a severe Ebola outbreak - says Global Multidimensional Poverty Index comparing poverty in 2013 to 2017

We also changed the way we measure it in that time. https://t.co/uKfmoXfpC3

Starting work on our second house for a very disadvantaged family. Step 1 complete last week - a temporary structure for the resident caretaker to oversee the site! Long term project but good to start. #AfterEbola #SierraLeone #Education #Housing #Health #Livelihoods

Huge thanks to the awesome Barnstaple Town FC @official_BTFC, @byeo1979 and @CQCLtd for donating football strips to Sierra Leone local clubs. Can spot at least one Ebola survivor here - probably several more. #AfterEbola #SierraLeone #ThankYou

👌 I have a great team of cadets who have been working on it. #teamwork Let's continue the good work! @WharfKids @Charlie533080

[WHARF KIDS @WharfKids]

Because no act of kindness is ever too small. Thank you to @HazlegrovePrep for wonderful support to Jenneh and Samuel - both very disadvantaged kids in Sierra Leone terribly affected by Ebola crisis in 2014-15. The kids loved their school fleeces! ❤️ #AfterEbola #SierraLeone

Truly inspiring. Great to see this young beneficiary training for an HND in electrical engineering while also completing his school education. A fabulous example to our younger beneficiaries. #AfterEbola #Freetown #SierraLeone #Education #SocialMobility

Huge thanks to the UK, US, Australian and Kiwi servicemen and women in the Middle East this weekend who ran, rowed and cycled 4650 miles (their base to Freetown) to raise over £1700 to secure the future of very disadvantaged kids affected by Ebola in 2014-15. #Legends #AfterEbola

[WHARF KIDS @WharfKids]

Whoop whoop - flight booked. Time to get back to this special place. Much to do in 2020 - not least forge new partnerships with SL organisations and complete the extension of the After School Class in Magazine Wharf. Small small steps to a better future for our beneficiaries.
