The Patriotic Empowerment Network Sierra Leone (P.E.N-SiL) successfully participated as a partner in the Jogging for Adolescents and Youth in Health and Development Advocacy event held on 4th April 2026 at Aberdeen Beach, Freetown. The initiative brought together young people, development partners, and advocacy groups with a shared goal of promoting healthy lifestyles and raising awareness on key health issues affecting adolescents and youth.
The event commenced with a vibrant jogging session, symbolizing collective action towards improved physical and mental well-being. This was followed by a series of engaging activities including a football comic match, music performances, interview sessions, and sensitization sessions. These activities created an interactive platform for young people to learn, connect, and actively participate in health advocacy.
As a partner, PEN-SiL played a key role in supporting the engagement and amplifying awareness around sexual and reproductive health, youth empowerment, and preventive healthcare practices. Our presence contributed to strengthening partnerships and reinforcing our commitment to promoting youth-led development initiatives across Sierra Leone.
The event recorded strong participation from youths and stakeholders, reflecting a growing interest in health-focused advocacy and community-driven solutions. It also provided an opportunity for PEN-SiL to network with like-minded organizations and explore future collaborations aimed at improving the well-being of young people.
