As of 2014, the infant mortality rate of Sierra Leone is estimated to be ranked 11th in the world. Water supply in Sierra Leone is characterized by limited access to safe drinking water. Despite the efforts of the government and many non-governmental organizations, entry has not been improved so much since the end of the civil war in Sierra Leone in 2002, and 50% of the stagnation rate in rural areas has declined further. I hope that China's Ola Gun Dam invested in 2009 will reduce water shortages.
