The good news coming from Sierra Leone is a wakeup call to other member countries of RECOWA-CERAO. In this country, information has it that the charity arm of the Archdiocese of Freetown has reached out to several families of police officers whose houses were razed down and their properties destroyed following last week’s inferno at the Kingtom Police Barracks, which is within the precincts of the Archdiocese.
Caritas Freetown Programs Manager, Ishmael Charles told ACI Africa on Friday, September 18 and related to our reporter that the September 7 inferno, which was caused by an electrical glitch, left at least 20 people from five families homeless and were now living at a school without help from the government.

Partnering with Healey International Relief Foundation, Buddhist Tzu Chi Foundation, and LANYI Foundation under the umbrella organization, Partnering to Serve Humanity, Caritas Freetown has donated food and non-food items including blankets, shoes and sandals, and clothing.

“Caritas Freetown has a very good working relationship with the Police and the Government. Our role is to complement the work of the Government.
