The poverty profile in Sierra Leone affirms that young people, 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 Freetown community.
We continue to support poor and unemployed youths who are victims of many unfortunate circumstances, the very awkward situation in which these youths find themselves need immediate special attention, most certainly if given an opportunity by offering them special training for jobs and some skills to enable them become self-reliant.
In addition to existing resources, we have been able to use the funds raised through the Global Giving platform to provide skills training for 15 youths in Freetown, Sierra Leone.
The organization truly appreciate the support of our partners and friends who donated their hardearned cash towards this project through the GlobalGiving platform. Your precious donations contributed greatly in helping young people in Sierra Leone rise above extreme poverty and also be able to secure much needed intrepreneurship skills.
