In Sierra Leone, access to clean water has been a major challenge among the citizens. A recent report from Water Aid has shown that 6 out of 10 people in the country don’t have access to clean water. The engineers at Guma Valley Water Company, the main water supplier in the country’s main city complained that the rapid increase in the number of residents in Freetown has vigorously outstretched their supply capacities. President Julius Maada Bio visited the main water catchment for Guma Valley at Mile 13 in April this year and concluded that deforestation has had catastrophic damage to the environment. Other institutions like the Human Right Commission of Sierra Leone say the inaccessibility of water in Freetown threatens key human rights.
