Ending Malnutrition for Every Last Child in Sierra Leone

Sierra Leone has made impressive progress in improving children’s nutrition since 2010. But nearly 30% of children are still stunted, especially in certain northern and eastern districts. Boys, teenage mothers, and children living in Northern districts were identified as being particularly vulnerable.

The Right to Food has been idetitied as the key to eradicating hunger and poverty in the nation. Read more about Save the Children’s work in Sierra Leone within the brief.
