Why this Project is Important
Potential Long Term Impact
Sierra Leone has an estimated youth unemployment rate of between 60-70% with formal sector employment as low as 9%. Providing high level training, through the existing education system can allow for employment in this emerging sector.
Project Message
This programme is one of the most important things to come to the students and the school. It gives them hope, confidence and skills they can use to make a difference for Sierra Leone and West Africa
