In Sierra Leone, the poverty profile affirms that young people, especially between the ages of 15 and 35 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 Rural District.
In a bid to help curb these challenges, AID Sierra Leone have been providing regular entrepreneurship training programs to help youth become self-reliant and also contribute to the socio-economic development of their communities.
In addition to existing resources, we have been able to use funds raised through the Global Giving platform to provide skills training for an additional 5 youths within the Wellington community in Freetown.
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.
If you donate to this project or have donated to this project, you can receive an email when this project posts a report. You can also subscribe for reports without donating.
