Are you heading to Sierra Leone for the Street Child Challenge? Then this is the perfect add-on to give you a well-rounded understanding of Sierra Leone, its culture, history, and wildlife.

I first joined Street Child in Sierra Leone in 2022 and I completely fell in love not only with the work they do but also with the people and the country. Having had the opportunity to explore beyond the Street Child Projects, I realised there was so much more value to be had by taking an extra couple of days to learn more about this hidden gem of a country. 

I invited some of the Street Child Challenge participants to join me last year and they too felt the same way. You will get so much more from the whole experience if you have a rounded understanding of the challenges that Sierra Leone has faced. So why not kickstart the fun a few days early and join me on an adventure of a lifetime? 

Sierra Leone is the perfect introduction to West Africa. 20 years after the bloody civil war ended, Sierra Leone is now one of the safest countries in the region, making it the ideal spot for intrepid travellers to explore one of the lesser visited countries in the world!

I’m looking for individuals who are prepared to step outside their comfort zone though. There is no doubt that Sierra Leone is a beautiful country with some of the kindest people you will meet anywhere. However, it is also one of the poorest countries in the world. There is no well-oiled tourist infrastructure here, so you will definitely need a sense of adventure! If you like the sound of that then make sure to sign up!
