  • Freetown, Sierra Leone. Nearly half the population of Sierra Leone lives in Freetown. Young people move to the city from rural life in hopes of finding work and a more exciting life, but find making a living difficult. Many take to selling sundry items on the streets. Electricity is unreliable. The roads are good in some areas of the city, but many still need repair. It is estimated that nearly 60% of the country's operating budget comes from donor countries.

  • This woman took time to talk with me about her family, pictured here, and going hungry. They eat once a day, usually just rice. She's worried about her youngest, who suffers from malnutrition. The vaccine record of the child sits on the table. Even though she's part of a farming family, they don't have enough to eat. Ways to improve farming, increase yields, and lower the work load, especially for women, need to be found.

  • The Sierra Leone Animal Welfare Society is led by the only veterinarian in the entire country who works on animals. Supported by grants, the SLAWS teams travels primarily around Freetown to spay and neuter dogs and vaccinate them against rabies. With just 5 veterinarians in the country, and all of them near retirement, Sierra Leone will soon be without veterinary care, which will further jeopardize food security in an already poor country.

  • Dogs roam in Freetown, as seen here. These dogs are lounging just outside the only veterinary clinic in Freetown. There are only 5 veterinarians in all of Sierra Leone, and only 1 of these works with animals, and that is on a part-time basis. Dr. Gudush Jalloh runs the nonprofit organization the Sierra Leone Animal Welfare Society, which strives to reduce and control dog populations through spay and neuter. They also vaccinate the dogs against rabies, when they have the vaccine that is, which is hard to get. Dogs are often used for security, or even hunting in rural areas. But rabies occurs everywhere in the country.

  • Many worked together to get the dogs vaccinated and keep the lines moving. Kids carried dogs from across town. Some had leashes, many did not. In line, a dog might try to bite someone.
