The country, Sierra Leone, is one of the many West African Countries that have suffered ten-years of bloody civil war. Although the war which started in 1990 officially ended in 2001, it left behind many social and economic challenges for the people of Sierra Leone. Thousands killed, houses  burnt , and many left homeless and orphaned. On January 17th, 2009, CanSerra Development Organization was founded to respond to the educational needs of children in the Waterloo Rural Area. CanSerra Development Organization is working to help rebuild Sierra Leone specifically in the educational sector for the orphaned and less privileged children. Kissi Town also known as Old Refugee Camp (a place where the many Liberian Refugees found solace during the 1990's, and also the many displaced Sierra Leoneans during the 11 years of conflict in the country).
