Kroo Bay

NG Kids and Save The Children need your help to make a difference to the lives of young people living in Kroo Bay, Sierra Leone, in West Africa.

 


 

Despite the poverty the 18,000 people of Kroo Bay, in Freetown, West Africa, live in they still have time to look their best. Check out the video where young Madlyn shows off her best dress and her fellow Kroo Bay residents wear their unique West African clothes.

The girls in Kroo Bay are hair-mad! Take a look at these braided styles which include the Pineapple and the Beyonce! What do you think?

Five things you can do to help Kroo Bay
  1. Get your class together to organise a fundraising event. You could wash cars, have a cake sale or a sponsored run. Don't forget to send us the pictures though!
  2. Go to www.savethechildren.org.uk where you can donate money directly to Kroo Bay. You can also email Madlyn, Chris and Bilan telling them what you are doing to help.
  3. Write a letter to your MP telling them you want them to do more to help Kroo Bay.
  4. Join the Save the Children petition to tell our government that they need to keep their promises about saving children's lives around the world.
  5. Don't forget about Kroo Bay – it will take time to make it a great place to live and that means they will need your continued support.

    But now you can help by leaning more about their lives through Save The Children's new website     www.savethechildren.org.uk where you can watch videos, find out how to help and even write emails to the young people from Kroo Bay
