In the past week, Government has received several inquiries from the private sector, Diplomatic Missions and private individuals who would like to generously support Government and development partners in the fight against the Cholera epidemic. The Presidential Task Force set up by His Excellency the President, Ernest Bai Koroma, to coordinate the campaign against cholera is pleased to announce that modalities have been put in place to facilitate the generous donations to support the efforts of Government and development partners.
