LACK OF TECHNOLOGY
During Imperialism, there wasn't a great supply of technology. But, people did build wells for the water supply. Building wells for the water supply was a very good idea because it kept the water clean and safe to drink. Without the wells, Sierra Leoneans would become very ill or could even die. The wells were the best technology for Sierra Leone at that time period. Today, Sierra Leoneans expected the technology to become much more advanced. But, that wasn't the case. In fact, technology in Sierra Leone became much more worst because of the civil war that lasted from 1991-2002. The civil war led the water in the wells to become dangerous to drink. People are getting very ill and are even dying because of how bad the water supply is. To fix this problem, they would need to build new wells that will provide clean water for all of them to drink. But, it would cost a lot of money to build the wells which is a huge problem for Sierra Leone.
