Corona Dispatches: Freetown, Sierra Leone

Those who are at risk of being hit the hardest by the current COVID-19 pandemic include the one billion people who live in slums and informal settlements around the world. This includes the places where Dreamtown works - and one of them is Sierra Leone. While the official numbers of people infected are still relatively low in the country, numbers are rising by the day, and the spread of the virus could become devastating in the areas where social distancing and staying at home is simply not possible.

We asked six young people in Freetown to share their experiences during the COVID-19 outbreak. Check out this video to see what they reported. And to get more updates - follow our stories on our Facebook, and on our Instagram, as we continue to follow the situation.
