Koindu is where the 2014 Ebola outbreak began, bringing a wave of infections and death that would roar across Sierra Leone.

Tzu Chi’s aid in Koindu and across Kailahun – “the forgotten district” – provided a measure of relief to Ebola survivors whose hearts remain saddened and in need of consolation.
