Refurbishing the Health Centres

The Kambia Appeal General News

A network of 68 Heath Centres linked to the Kambia hospital in Sierra Leone provide vital front-line health facilities for local communities around Kambia. However, the physical structure of these Peripheral Health Units (PHUs) is poor and in some even the most basic equipment is absent. In 2019 The Kambia Appeal provided 200 delivery kits and 115 […]

Kambia Update

The Kambia Appeal Uncategorized

Over 2020 and 2021 The Kambia Appeal has continued to concentrate on projects that can be delivered locally in Kambia without the need for input from the UK in terms of manpower.

Coronavirus update – April 2020

The Kambia Appeal Uncategorized

The people of Sierra Leone are used to fighting a killer disease – Ebola ravaged the country only a few years ago, so they know only too well how important it is to be prepared. We have been asked to support the hospital and district with funds for training and to purchase local PPE items […]

Progress in 2019

The Kambia Appeal General News

Here’s the annual statement from our Chair, Shona Lockyer, as presented at the AGM in January. In recent years, we have been less visible in Kambia, this is partly due to the suspension of activities due to Ebola, and although Sierra Leone was officially declared Ebola free in 2016, we have not re-established ourselves in Kambia to […]
