In Denmark, nobody leaves home without one of these. Cheap, durable, multi-use, multi-purpose. With single-use plastics choking our beaches and waterways, and tailoring shops on every corner, isn’t it about time we adopted an alternative?

Good news. For now. But, as the release acknowledges, reforms are needed to ensure the financial viability of the sector. For example how to address the estimated 40% losses in the Transmission & Distribution system? Or will customers be charged more to make up the shortfall?

From rampant corruption that siphons resources away from essential services to the devastating Kush epidemic wreaking havoc on our youth, Sierra Leone faces a multitude of crises. The recent tragedies of a baby dying in a hospital due to the lack of electricity are stark…

The privilege that we enjoy comes with responsibility. It’s our duty to lead, help, and raise up others who’ve not been afforded the same privileges that we have. When I speak I speak not for myself, but for those without a voice, or whose voice goes unheard and unanswered.
