Kelfa Kargbo - In Conversation with Street Child
Joining us this week is Kelfa Kargbo, Street Child's Country Director for Sierra Leone. A veteran in the field of humanitarian work, Kelfa teamed up with Street Child CEO Tom Dannatt in 2008 to create an organisation that has fast become one of the biggest international children’s charities today. With an initial target of helping 100 children living on the streets of Makeni, they’ve gone on to transform the lives of tens of thousands of young people and families across the country giving them access to education, sustainable living and a life outside of poverty. Sierra Leone has witnessed a number of tragic events since the end of the brutal civil war - the country has endured economic hardship, Ebola, a deadly mudslide, and of course COVID. Despite the crises, Kelfa tells us, "We continue to go where the cameras don’t, we help those most in need, and we will never abandon the children."
