We are a UK charity working to tackle child and maternal mortality in Sierra Leone, where 1 in 7 children dies before their 5th birthday Thank you for visiting our Facebook page. Our mission is to tackle child mortality in Sierra Leone, where one in four children dies before their fifth birthday, often from the most basic and treatable of conditions. The Welbodi Partnership was established to support the provision of paediatric and maternal care in Sierra Leone, where child and maternal health statistics are among the worst in the world.
