WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.999
Progress and development can
be measured and monitored.

00:00:05.000 --> 00:00:09.999
That was the idea behind the millennium development
goals. But often it\'s people on the streets

00:00:10.000 --> 00:00:14.999
who can really tell the difference.
Especially those who love to listen

00:00:15.000 --> 00:00:19.999
and then tell you about
it or even sing about it.

00:00:20.000 --> 00:00:25.000
[music]

00:00:50.000 --> 00:00:54.999
[non-English narration]

00:00:55.000 --> 00:00:59.999
Singing in Sierra Leone. Sometimes
it\'s to help work along,

00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:04.999
sometimes it\'s the
soundtrack to a lazy day.

00:01:05.000 --> 00:01:10.000
But sometimes it\'s a story.

00:01:15.000 --> 00:01:20.000
[music]

00:01:30.000 --> 00:01:34.999
Sorie Kondi(ph), Sierra Leone\'s
steady wonder is on iTunes

00:01:35.000 --> 00:01:39.999
and YouTube but still struggling
to make it. Foreign acclaim

00:01:40.000 --> 00:01:44.999
does not pay his bills. Sorie
pays eight dollars a month rent

00:01:45.000 --> 00:01:49.999
by basking the streets of the
capital Freetown. His wife Sally

00:01:50.000 --> 00:01:54.999
is also blind. She makes
and sell soap to help out.

00:01:55.000 --> 00:01:59.999
One day, sometime good at.

00:02:00.000 --> 00:02:08.000
[music]

00:02:15.000 --> 00:02:19.999
Sorie Kondi takes his name from
his instrument, the Kondi,

00:02:20.000 --> 00:02:24.999
a handmade phone piano
with an electronic twist.

00:02:25.000 --> 00:02:29.999
[sil.]

00:02:30.000 --> 00:02:34.999
Basking the streets also helps
keep his daughter at school.

00:02:35.000 --> 00:02:39.999
[music]

00:02:40.000 --> 00:02:41.000
Getting 14 year old (inaudible)

00:02:41.001 --> 00:02:44.999
through school is a big struggle for Sorie.

00:02:45.000 --> 00:02:49.999
Primary education is free in Sierra
Leone but there are extra fees

00:02:50.000 --> 00:02:54.999
demanded by poorly paid
teachers and other costs.

00:02:55.000 --> 00:02:59.999
I\'m not feeling good. The school charges
haven\'t been paid. They\'ve not paid what?

00:03:00.000 --> 00:03:04.999
School charges. School fees. They have
not yet been paid. How much? 32,000.

00:03:05.000 --> 00:03:09.999
32,000. Okay, finish.

00:03:10.000 --> 00:03:14.999
Sport is on Monday. I haven\'t got
to sports till. Play sports?

00:03:15.000 --> 00:03:17.999
Yes, Monday. Monday. The (inaudible)

00:03:18.000 --> 00:03:19.999
is 10,000. 10,000.

00:03:20.000 --> 00:03:24.999
Somehow Sorie

00:03:25.000 --> 00:03:26.999
always finds the money.
But keeping (inaudible)

00:03:27.000 --> 00:03:29.999
out of trouble is more difficult.

00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:34.999
When did you get pregnant?
Zynap(ph) lives with her cousins

00:03:35.000 --> 00:03:39.999
who have all left school
early because of pregnancy.

00:03:40.000 --> 00:03:44.999
Zynap is not safe. Look at
what\'s happening in this house.

00:03:45.000 --> 00:03:49.999
Her cousins only made it up

00:03:50.000 --> 00:03:54.999
to form two and got pregnant.
So I do worry that some day

00:03:55.000 --> 00:03:59.999
it would happen to her. You see.

00:04:00.000 --> 00:04:04.999
Sorie Kondi and the MDGs,
millennium development goals

00:04:05.000 --> 00:04:09.999
not an RNB band but goals set by world
leaders meeting at the U.N. in 2000.

00:04:10.000 --> 00:04:14.999
Zynap\'s future depends
on two of these goals.

00:04:15.000 --> 00:04:19.999
Education and women\'s empowerment. We ask
Sorie Kondi to help us make a road movie

00:04:20.000 --> 00:04:24.999
looking at what\'s happening with girls\'
education around the country ten years

00:04:25.000 --> 00:04:29.999
after civil war.

00:04:30.000 --> 00:04:32.999
Sorie\'s trusted aide is
23 year old (inaudible)

00:04:33.000 --> 00:04:34.999
who helped with production

00:04:35.000 --> 00:04:39.999
on Sorie\'s first album. There are
problems with Sorie\'s old amplifier.

00:04:40.000 --> 00:04:44.999
But Fodies(ph) found him a
brand-new Chinese made amp.

00:04:45.000 --> 00:04:53.000
[sil.]

00:04:55.000 --> 00:04:59.999
Fodie lost both of his parents in the civil war. He
survived as a street kid till Jesuits took him in

00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:04.999
and put him through primary
and secondary education.

00:05:05.000 --> 00:05:09.999
Now, he\'s saving to go to university, an education
success story maybe a role model for Zynap.

00:05:10.000 --> 00:05:18.000
[music]

00:05:20.000 --> 00:05:24.999
Sorie Kondi has barely ventured out of
Freetown since the civil war started

00:05:25.000 --> 00:05:29.999
18 years ago. It\'s a two
week trip around the country

00:05:30.000 --> 00:05:33.999
just Sorie Fodie P, (inaudible)

00:05:34.000 --> 00:05:35.000
and whoever else they pick up on the way.

00:05:35.001 --> 00:05:37.999
(inaudible)

00:05:38.000 --> 00:05:39.999
,

00:05:40.000 --> 00:05:44.999
He\'s a primary schoolteacher. What\'s
making him angry goes to teachers.

00:05:45.000 --> 00:05:49.999
It\'s estimated the
government has been paying

00:05:50.000 --> 00:05:54.999
the salaries of 30,000 phantom teachers
who don\'t exist. The money going,

00:05:55.000 --> 00:05:59.999
who knows where. Those teachers
are a drain on the budget

00:06:00.000 --> 00:06:03.999
but the government has now started a role call of teachers
to make sure the money is spent properly. (inaudible)

00:06:04.000 --> 00:06:05.000
says it\'s an urgent problem.

00:06:05.001 --> 00:06:09.999
Teachers do retire.

00:06:10.000 --> 00:06:13.999
Some die. What (inaudible)

00:06:14.000 --> 00:06:15.000
,

00:06:15.001 --> 00:06:19.999
They still maintain their names
in the register. The money goes

00:06:20.000 --> 00:06:24.999
in their pocket forgetting the fact that they need to delete those
names from the register. So there are ghost teachers all over.

00:06:25.000 --> 00:06:29.999
Sierra Leone spends almost 4%

00:06:30.000 --> 00:06:34.999
of its GDP on education. Sorie is beginning to
wonder how much of it finds its way to the children.

00:06:35.000 --> 00:06:37.999
This (inaudible)

00:06:38.000 --> 00:06:39.999
not used to touring anymore.

00:06:40.000 --> 00:06:44.999
I\'ll stop now. I need to rest.

00:06:45.000 --> 00:06:49.999
[sil.]

00:06:50.000 --> 00:06:54.999
Even though Sorie\'s village is just
a few hours away from Freetown,

00:06:55.000 --> 00:06:59.999
it\'s three years since he\'s been back.

00:07:00.000 --> 00:07:04.999
What\'s better? Bring up your
daughter in Freetown or here?

00:07:05.000 --> 00:07:09.999
Well,

00:07:10.000 --> 00:07:14.999
I prefer bringing up my
daughter in Freetown.

00:07:15.000 --> 00:07:19.999
Even though there are so many
problems for her in Freetown,

00:07:20.000 --> 00:07:24.999
at least, as I am there,
because that\'s where I live.

00:07:25.000 --> 00:07:29.999
I can always solve them.

00:07:30.000 --> 00:07:34.999
[sil.]

00:07:35.000 --> 00:07:39.999
One of the problems for
girls in rural areas

00:07:40.000 --> 00:07:44.999
is the long walks to school.
But they\'re lucky.

00:07:45.000 --> 00:07:49.999
Over a quarter of a million children don\'t go to
primary school at all and most of them are girls.

00:07:50.000 --> 00:07:54.999
[sil.]

00:07:55.000 --> 00:07:59.999
Sorie Kondi\'s village

00:08:00.000 --> 00:08:04.999
is Mangay Loko.

00:08:05.000 --> 00:08:13.000
[non-English narration]

00:08:20.000 --> 00:08:24.999
Okay, this is my father.

00:08:25.000 --> 00:08:33.000
[music]

00:08:50.000 --> 00:08:54.999
Back home,

00:08:55.000 --> 00:08:59.999
Sorie is a success story.

00:09:00.000 --> 00:09:04.999
His old friend Hassan used
to be a small time trader.

00:09:05.000 --> 00:09:09.999
Hassan did pass the school exams
but no more. Now he\'s a UU.

00:09:10.000 --> 00:09:14.999
Unqualified, untrained teacher.
The villagers pay him

00:09:15.000 --> 00:09:19.999
what they can when they can, offer is not much.
Almost half of Sierra Leone\'s teachers are UUs

00:09:20.000 --> 00:09:24.999
and often have second jobs to survive.

00:09:25.000 --> 00:09:29.999
No repairs have been done to the
school buildings since 1976.

00:09:30.000 --> 00:09:38.000
[non-English narration]

00:09:40.000 --> 00:09:44.999
What Sorie learns

00:09:45.000 --> 00:09:49.999
here has little incentive for Hassan to train as a
teacher. There just aren\'t enough well paid jobs

00:09:50.000 --> 00:09:54.999
although the government is
reviewing teachers pay.

00:09:55.000 --> 00:09:59.999
Three years ago, Hassan was
accepted into a training program.

00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:04.999
He has the letter. He\'s just waiting for
confirmation of funding. Unfortunately,

00:10:05.000 --> 00:10:09.999
he\'s been waiting three years.

00:10:10.000 --> 00:10:14.999
Since I applied, I got this acceptance
letter. It\'s been about three years.

00:10:15.000 --> 00:10:19.999
It\'s to go to the training college
to get qualified as a teacher.

00:10:20.000 --> 00:10:24.999
I didn\'t get an answer.

00:10:25.000 --> 00:10:29.999
I am trained that we get
development in our village.

00:10:30.000 --> 00:10:34.999
I pray that with education,
things will be better for you.

00:10:35.000 --> 00:10:39.999
All of you.

00:10:40.000 --> 00:10:44.999
So not must encouragement
from Sorie\'s home village.

00:10:45.000 --> 00:10:49.999
He\'s starting to think there
are no easy solutions.

00:10:50.000 --> 00:10:54.999
I want one day to grow up

00:10:55.000 --> 00:10:59.999
because Sierra Leone is not easy.

00:11:00.000 --> 00:11:04.999
One day, if I go abroad I\'ll be happy.

00:11:05.000 --> 00:11:09.999
I want to do something
proper for Sierra Leone.

00:11:10.000 --> 00:11:15.000
[music]

00:11:20.000 --> 00:11:24.999
We had stories of schools down the road.

00:11:25.000 --> 00:11:29.999
Sorie is off to learn more.
On the way, Mohammed.

00:11:30.000 --> 00:11:34.999
He\'s a motor bike taxi driver and former
student of one of the oldest schools

00:11:35.000 --> 00:11:39.999
in Sierra Leone. They are all
on their way to Mateboi.

00:11:40.000 --> 00:11:44.999
There are

00:11:45.000 --> 00:11:49.999
no road signs.

00:11:50.000 --> 00:11:54.999
But the driver does have
an escort of sorts.

00:11:55.000 --> 00:11:59.999
The school here has an impressive list

00:12:00.000 --> 00:12:04.999
of former pupils including
some major public figures.

00:12:05.000 --> 00:12:10.000
Sorie Kondi wants to put on a performance
but the kids get their first.

00:12:15.000 --> 00:12:23.000
[music]

00:12:25.000 --> 00:12:29.999
Emma lives in Freetown.

00:12:30.000 --> 00:12:34.999
Pre-primary education

00:12:35.000 --> 00:12:39.999
has seen a huge increase in pupils here.
It\'s up by half.

00:12:40.000 --> 00:12:44.999
Now the school has 425 students
but only five teachers

00:12:45.000 --> 00:12:49.999
and three classrooms.
If you could see them,

00:12:50.000 --> 00:12:54.999
you would see that the children
are having difficulties.

00:12:55.000 --> 00:12:59.999
They have no desks and have to put
the books on their laps to write.

00:13:00.000 --> 00:13:04.999
Half the classes are under mango trees.
There are just not enough buildings.

00:13:05.000 --> 00:13:09.999
So no benches then. They
do have benches to sit on

00:13:10.000 --> 00:13:14.999
but don\'t have anything to write on. So
what about the school\'s distinguished

00:13:15.000 --> 00:13:19.999
all boy network. Sorie
asks the obvious question.

00:13:20.000 --> 00:13:24.999
Mr. Headmaster, these people in high places

00:13:25.000 --> 00:13:29.999
so what have they done to help the school?

00:13:30.000 --> 00:13:34.999
These people, these people have not made any
effort to move us from under the mango tree.

00:13:35.000 --> 00:13:39.999
That is why we are still under the
mango tree. A platform the government,

00:13:40.000 --> 00:13:44.999
it\'s up to the local people
to move these children.

00:13:45.000 --> 00:13:49.999
I had a better education and because
we had the facilities in school,

00:13:50.000 --> 00:13:54.999
we had enough desk to write on. These
days, children use their lap to write on.

00:13:55.000 --> 00:13:59.999
That doesn\'t help their writing skills.

00:14:00.000 --> 00:14:04.999
When the rains come, the problems really
start. Children from the mango tree classrooms

00:14:05.000 --> 00:14:09.999
pile into the school building classrooms
and the entire school comes to a halt.

00:14:10.000 --> 00:14:14.999
For nine year old Fatema that means
losing up to 40 days a year of school.

00:14:15.000 --> 00:14:19.999
When I come to school in the morning,

00:14:20.000 --> 00:14:24.999
and it rains heavily, my books and
uniform get completely soaked.

00:14:25.000 --> 00:14:29.999
[music]

00:14:30.000 --> 00:14:33.999
As Sorie leaves (inaudible)

00:14:34.000 --> 00:14:35.000
of buildings.

00:14:35.001 --> 00:14:39.999
A reminder of civil war. Over
1200 schools were destroyed.

00:14:40.000 --> 00:14:44.999
[music]

00:14:45.000 --> 00:14:49.999
And in contrast, the new
roads have reconstruction

00:14:50.000 --> 00:14:55.000
which takes us to Koidu, the
center of blood diamonds.

00:15:10.000 --> 00:15:14.999
Koidi is keeping up with the news.

00:15:15.000 --> 00:15:19.999
He\'s a glutton for knowledge.
There is money around here

00:15:20.000 --> 00:15:24.999
and money can be a problem as
Sorie\'s next encounter shows.

00:15:25.000 --> 00:15:29.999
Sia Elizabeth Tongu(ph)

00:15:30.000 --> 00:15:34.999
belongs to a woman\'s group which
campaigns against teenage marriage.

00:15:35.000 --> 00:15:39.999
[non-English narration]

00:15:40.000 --> 00:15:44.999
How is Kono? Fine. How is
the woman\'s group doing?

00:15:45.000 --> 00:15:49.999
The group is doing fine. It is doing fine.

00:15:50.000 --> 00:15:54.999
Yes.

00:15:55.000 --> 00:15:59.999
Young girls face a lot of challenges.
They\'re concerned about teenage marriages,

00:16:00.000 --> 00:16:04.999
early marriages with the Mafia.

00:16:05.000 --> 00:16:09.999
Umm… people with money will lure them out
of school. It still happens and in fact,

00:16:10.000 --> 00:16:14.999
I have a secondary school I
talked to the institute.

00:16:15.000 --> 00:16:19.999
What we do is we call the parents to
meetings so we can all deliberate together

00:16:20.000 --> 00:16:24.999
and see how we can stop all
of these, these children.

00:16:25.000 --> 00:16:29.999
I mean, imagine babies having babies.
It\'s, it\'s really a serious problem

00:16:30.000 --> 00:16:34.999
and then also they drop out of school because they,
they cannot continue with school once they get married

00:16:35.000 --> 00:16:39.999
and get stuck in this marital affairs.
In fact, the young boys

00:16:40.000 --> 00:16:44.999
in school are now pregnating more girls

00:16:45.000 --> 00:16:49.999
than the older men. So that
too is a serious problem

00:16:50.000 --> 00:16:54.999
in the community. There
is a law that schoolboys

00:16:55.000 --> 00:16:59.999
who make girls pregnant must stay
away from school while the girls do.

00:17:00.000 --> 00:17:04.999
And the government is planning to help
girls by adding more female teachers.

00:17:05.000 --> 00:17:09.999
But there are no easy solutions.

00:17:10.000 --> 00:17:14.999
Mariamma(ph) didn\'t get a chance to finish her
schooling. At 16, her parents wanted to marry her off

00:17:15.000 --> 00:17:19.999
to an older man. She ran away but
at the end, she did marry him

00:17:20.000 --> 00:17:24.999
and have three kids. Like many girls in
Sierra Leone, Mariaama was married before

00:17:25.000 --> 00:17:29.999
she was 18 which is illegal here.
Now, ten years on,

00:17:30.000 --> 00:17:34.999
she\'s been divorced and her husband has
claimed back the bride money and expenses

00:17:35.000 --> 00:17:39.999
from her family. Seeing as your father,

00:17:40.000 --> 00:17:44.999
your parents were the ones
who arranged your marriage.

00:17:45.000 --> 00:17:49.999
They should have helped you out.

00:17:50.000 --> 00:17:54.999
Not left you to subject all out alone.

00:17:55.000 --> 00:17:59.999
Why when bad things happen,

00:18:00.000 --> 00:18:04.999
do they leave you to
fend for yourself? Why?

00:18:05.000 --> 00:18:09.999
I don\'t know.

need a lift back to their village.

00:18:55.000 --> 00:18:59.999
Do you go to school? Yeah.
What form are you? Form three.

00:19:00.000 --> 00:19:04.999
Form three. Do you know about
girls who get pregnant at school?

00:19:05.000 --> 00:19:09.999
Mm-hmm. You just started school,

00:19:10.000 --> 00:19:14.999
how many kids of pregnancy do you know of?

00:19:15.000 --> 00:19:19.999
Don\'t be shy.

00:19:20.000 --> 00:19:24.999
Don\'t be shy. Answer me. Can you
hear me but you\'re not answering.

00:19:25.000 --> 00:19:29.999
Yes, I can hear you. Yes.

00:19:30.000 --> 00:19:34.999
She just started school. How many
kids of pregnancy do you know of?

00:19:35.000 --> 00:19:39.999
Many. Well, how many?

00:19:40.000 --> 00:19:44.999
More than 40. 50.

00:19:45.000 --> 00:19:49.999
Are these kids, you really know? I
don\'t want you to lie? It\'s not a lie.

Juliette is a primary schoolteacher,

volunteer radio journalist
and a single mother.

[music]

00:20:35.000 --> 00:20:40.000
Juliette runs a youth program and opens
the phone lines every Saturday morning.

00:20:50.000 --> 00:20:54.999
I most of the time try an open phone line.

00:20:55.000 --> 00:20:59.999
I ask people to contribute where they ask
questions about the teenage pregnancy

00:21:00.000 --> 00:21:04.999
and most questions that\'s
used to come to our studio

00:21:05.000 --> 00:21:09.999
whenever I\'m presenting this program
people say uh… the, the teenagers

00:21:10.000 --> 00:21:14.999
themselves are responsible, you know,
for their problems they usually face.

00:21:15.000 --> 00:21:19.999
That\'s umm… they don\'t listen to their parents.
They always abscond home. When they ask,

00:21:20.000 --> 00:21:24.999
they ask to go to school.
They skip from school.

00:21:25.000 --> 00:21:27.999
The ones who live with all opportunities,
so most of the time, the (inaudible)

, goods of the street

00:21:30.000 --> 00:21:34.999
and just live their own life.
I blame the parents.

00:21:35.000 --> 00:21:39.999
The guardians blame the teenagers
themselves and now blame

00:21:40.000 --> 00:21:44.999
also the schools that this
teenager is attending.

00:21:45.000 --> 00:21:49.999
We\'re on our way to Tiwai island,

00:21:50.000 --> 00:21:54.999
Sierra Leone\'s river
island wildlife sanctuary.

00:21:55.000 --> 00:21:59.999
There is someone, who
wants to talk to Sorie.

00:22:00.000 --> 00:22:08.000
[music] s

00:22:25.000 --> 00:22:29.999
Momodu(ph) is a boat man

00:22:30.000 --> 00:22:34.999
transferring tourists to Tiwai island. He\'s spent a
lot of money on his daughter\'s secondary education.

00:22:35.000 --> 00:22:39.999
His daughter\'s

00:22:40.000 --> 00:22:45.000
belly business or pregnancy has been a disappointment
especially as it involved her teacher.

00:22:50.000 --> 00:22:54.999
I need

00:22:55.000 --> 00:22:59.999
to feel better of her first. Right
now, I\'m not happy with her.

00:23:00.000 --> 00:23:04.999
[sil.]

00:23:05.000 --> 00:23:09.999
That\'s how it is.

00:23:10.000 --> 00:23:14.999
The story behind my pregnancy is that I was
going to school and I suddenly get pregnant.

00:23:15.000 --> 00:23:19.999
I was in love with my teacher a long time.

00:23:20.000 --> 00:23:24.999
Since I was in form one.

00:23:25.000 --> 00:23:29.999
[non-English narration]

00:23:30.000 --> 00:23:34.999
He helped me pass my exams

00:23:35.000 --> 00:23:39.999
and paid for my practical
fees and other things.

00:23:40.000 --> 00:23:44.999
When I told him that I
was pregnant, he said,

00:23:45.000 --> 00:23:49.999
don\'t tell me that. He said, if
I was willing, he had the money

00:23:50.000 --> 00:23:54.999
so I could have an abortion. I said
no, because some friends have died

00:23:55.000 --> 00:23:59.999
because of abortion. I
prefer to give birth.

00:24:00.000 --> 00:24:04.999
When Millicent reported her story to the police,
she was told the teacher was already in custody

00:24:05.000 --> 00:24:09.999
on similar charges of sex with
a minor, another schoolgirl.

00:24:10.000 --> 00:24:14.999
Two weeks later Momodu, her father,
heard the teacher had been released

00:24:15.000 --> 00:24:19.999
and was back teaching at the school.
No one sure why.

00:24:20.000 --> 00:24:24.999
I feel bad for the father of the girl.

00:24:25.000 --> 00:24:29.999
I don\'t even know what to say. The
police and the school authorities

00:24:30.000 --> 00:24:34.999
ganged up against the
father to release this man.

00:24:35.000 --> 00:24:39.999
And the police must have taken a bribe.
I don\'t understand anything.

00:24:40.000 --> 00:24:44.999
Back to Freetown, where Fodie will be

00:24:45.000 --> 00:24:49.999
helping Sorie record his new album. I
think education is very, very important.

00:24:50.000 --> 00:24:54.999
Because if it hadn\'t been for education,

00:24:55.000 --> 00:24:59.999
I would not be what I\'m today. Though the fact that I do
not have anything, nobody can come and fool me easily.

00:25:00.000 --> 00:25:04.999
I know all what is going on. Not only Sierra
Leone but in all the rest of the world.

00:25:05.000 --> 00:25:09.999
Well, if I have a daughter,

00:25:10.000 --> 00:25:14.999
I would make sure that I monitor her
properly. If she goes to school,

00:25:15.000 --> 00:25:19.999
I would make sure everyday that I
see how she\'s doing in school.

00:25:20.000 --> 00:25:24.999
Whether she\'s always punctual, whether
she takes her class work seriously.

00:25:25.000 --> 00:25:29.999
There is a lot riding on Sorie
Kondi\'s new album. His career

00:25:30.000 --> 00:25:34.999
and Zynap\'s future.

00:25:35.000 --> 00:25:39.999
Zynap is my child. But she has
a mind of her own. Even though

00:25:40.000 --> 00:25:44.999
I really hope she finishes
her studies, it\'s up to her.

00:25:45.000 --> 00:25:49.999
I pray to God that she
finishes her education

00:25:50.000 --> 00:25:54.999
because I believe it will be good for her.
If I get money,

00:25:55.000 --> 00:25:59.999
I would send her to college.
If I get money,

00:26:00.000 --> 00:26:05.000
I believe God will provide.
