Various estimates indicate that unemployment is the highest among youth especially between the ages of 18 and 35 across Sierra Leone, especially in the rural community of Waterloo. The poverty profile affirms that young adults - especially between the ages of 15 and 24 are among the poorest of the poor. Many of them are illiterate, school dropouts, unemployed and idle, living in deplorable conditions in and around the Western Area.
In an effort to help curb these challenges, we have been providing regular entrepreneurship training programs to help youth become self-reliant and also contribute to the socio-economic development of their communities.
We continue to thank our partners and friends who donated their hard-earned cash towards this project through the GlobalGiving platform. Your precious donations contributed greatly in helping youths in Sierra Leone rise above extreme poverty and also be able to secure much needed entrepreneurship skills.
Project reports on GlobalGiving are posted directly to globalgiving.org by Project Leaders as they are completed, generally every 3-4 months. To protect the integrity of these documents, GlobalGiving does not alter them; therefore you may find some language or formatting issues.
