Since the Ebola crisis, everyone in Sierra Leone now recognises that better hygiene and a healthier environment are essential to prevent more epidemics. Unauthorised dumping sites and illegal waste disposal spread illnesses, so Welthungerhilfe is helping the government to develop an infrastructure for municipal waste collection. Sierra Leone's private sector is underdeveloped so it is expected to participate in providing public services and is also involved in this project. At the same time, jobs are being created for the country’s numerous unemployed young people. Awareness of waste reduction, separation and recycling is also being raised by various means such as through schools.
