Despite the large number of energy development projects, over 89% of the Sierra Leone population faces energy deficiency (Vanguard, 2019). In Jalloh Terrace, the local community in the western rural district, firewood and charcoal were the only sources of light and heat for students studying or families cooking food.
Approximately 89% of the population in Sierra Leone lacks access to electricity or gas. Firewood and charcoal are commonly used for light and heat, but they are also known to be sources of air and water pollution, as well as respiratory issues.
Sierra Leone's energy consumption has risen by 65% since the early 2000s (Awoko, 2017) but the existing energy systems in the country are still underdeveloped and unable to meet the high energy demand.
