Guinea

Last year, our work reached over 80,000 of the poorest and most vulnerable people in Guinea.

Guinea-Conakry, bordering Sierra Leone, Cote d'Ivoire, and Liberia in West Africa, is often over-looked by the international community. Intermittent electricity, very poor telecommunications, and an unstable, often violent socio-political context make it a difficult place to work.

We focus on reducing the vulnerability of communities to natural disasters and the socio-economic development of women, youth and marginalised groups in Guinea to help reduce poverty and increase people’s incomes. This might mean assisting women's groups with literacy and numeracy skills or the provision of clean Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) for Cholera-prone communities.
