Hinduism in Sierra Leone
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hinduism in Sierra Leone is the religion of some South Asian expatriates.[1] Hindus in Sierra Leone are primarily of South Asian descent and are usually traders.[2] There are 4,400 Hindus (0.05%) in Sierra Leone as of 2025, according to ARDA.[3]
Freetown, the capital and principal city of Sierra Leone, has a large Hindu community, including a Hindu association and a priest. Hindus are allowed cremation in Freetown.[4]
Following the exodus of expatriates in 1999 during the Sierra Leone civil war, the Indian community numbers dwindled to about 1500, mostly businessmen of Sindhi origin.[5]
