Global InformationWelbodi Partnership information
The Welbodi Partnership is a Sierra Leone and UK-registered charity that works exclusively in Sierra Leone, where it collaborates with official and non-official partners to support the provision of pediatric care.[1][2] The charity was founded in 2007 by British entrepreneur Tom Cairnes along with Dr Matthew Clark, a UK pediatrician who visited Sierra Leone as a medical student. They now serve on the charity's Board of Directors. The name Welbodi is derived from the Krio word for “health”. Welbodi is based at the Ola During Children's Hospital (ODCH) in Freetown, which is Sierra Leone's only paediatric referral and teaching hospital.[1]
