Awareness Times: Angola Capital Investments Supports Shine On Sierra Leone

Angola Capital Investments (ACI), a leading international investment firm headquartered in Angola, made a substantial donation to Shine on Sierra Leone (SOSL) to help improve healthcare in the country. SOSL is a non-profit organization that raises awareness for the needs of Sierra Leone and creates programs to promote self-sufficient communities and rich cultural experiences.

Sierra Leone was greatly affected by the Ebola outbreak that began in 2014. Because of the generous donation of ACI, SOSL was able to initiate an Ebola response program in the Bongema Village. SOSL set up sanitation stations, engaged in door-to-door education and dialogue, and trained 50 Community Health Care Workers (CHWs) in partnership with Dr. Dan Kelly, an infectious disease specialist. The donation also directly supported 67 children who were orphaned by the virus. Since the SOSL program was initiated, there have been no reported cases of Ebola in the village.
