Two men shovel sand at a sand mine on the banks of the Moa River outside Kenema on June 11, 2024. For many families sand mining is the only means of income and with the rainy season having just starting they must hurry to mine as much sand as possible before the rivers fill up and sand mining becomes almost impossible. Hundreds of sand mining areas can be seen littered along Sierra Leone’s main rivers. The sand feeds the development of roads and aggressive expansion of cities in the south of Sierra Leone.
