Girls of #SierraLeone Part 1 - Ami Musa, 12, has lived with an uncle in Pendembu Village since her parents died. She left school because her family cannot afford her school fees, but she hopes to return and become a nurse. Sierra Leone’s civil war ended over ten years ago, but progress, especially for girls and women, remains slow. High rates of maternal and child mortality, early marriage, limited access to education and sexual abuse all threaten girls’ health and wellbeing.
