The Disability Empowerment Movement Sierra Leone visits Tacugama

The Disability Empowerment Movement Sierra Leone (DEMSL) fights injustice towards underprivileged kids and people living with disabilities in Sierra Leone. Every year they organise a field trip with some of their beneficiaries from different provinces around the country, offering them with the opportunity to tour around Freetown. Part of their tour includes a visit to Tacugama where they can encounter chimps and learn more about conservation and wildlife protection. While it’s true that accessibility walking around the terrain in Tacugama can be tricky, we always find a way to accommodate anyone who wants to visit the sanctuary.
