Tewoh Community Development Organization

Bo, Sierra Leone
Tewoh Community Development Organization (TCDO) works in two communities that were badly hit by the Ebola virus in 2014. Twenty-six people in the two communities died, and the village was quarantined for almost two years. The survivors were left with few resources and much work to do, with many women widowed and many children orphaned.
