✍️🇸🇱 Celebrating creativity and youth voices!

Youth Help Sierra Leone is pleased to share that our Founder and Executive Director, Aliemu Jalloh, has received a Certificate of Participation in The Queen’s Commonwealth Writing Competition 2026.

Thank you to the Royal Commonwealth Society for providing a platform to share ideas and stories across the Commonwealth.

Every young person deserves the opportunity to learn, the confidence to lead and the skills to build a better future.

At Youth Help Sierra Leone (YHSL), we are committed to unlocking educational access, empowering youth leadership and creating pathways to opportunity and development.

For out-of-school girls, young mothers and underserved youth, educational access must include safe, inclusive learning opportunities that reflect their circumstances and ambitions. Practical skills, supportive mentors and opportunities to apply knowledge can help young people move towards greater independence.

Our priorities are clear:

📚 Unlocking educational access: Promote opportunities for young people to develop literacy, digital knowledge and vocational skills, with particular attention to those facing barriers to learning.

🤝 Empowering youth leadership: Strengthen young people’s confidence, encourage community participation and support their meaningful involvement in decisions that affect their lives.

🌱 Building opportunity and development: Connect learning with entrepreneurship, livelihoods and community action so young people can put their abilities to work.

Effective youth development requires consistent support, practical experience and a voice in shaping the opportunities available. Girls and young women must have an equal place in that process.

YHSL welcomes collaboration with educators, businesses, youth networks, community leaders and development partners in Sierra Leone and around the world. Together, we can help more young people access learning, exercise leadership and pursue their ambitions.

Youth Help Sierra Leone actively participated and contributed throughout Day One of the CYMG Conference on the Environmental Dimensions of Antimicrobial Resistance (CEDAR).

The sessions strengthened our understanding of how untreated wastewater, antibiotic residues, poor sanitation, and unsafe waste disposal contribute to the development and spread of antimicrobial resistance. The Youth Action Showcase also demonstrated the power of young people to develop practical, community-led solutions through the One Health approach.

YHSL remains committed to promoting environmental health, community awareness, and meaningful youth participation in Sierra Leone. We welcome partnerships and collaboration with organizations, researchers, funders, and youth networks working to address environmental AMR.

🌍 Amplifying the Voices of African Women and Youth

Today, Youth Help Sierra Leone was proud to participate in the Pre-RCM Consultation on African Women and Youth Priorities, held on 29 August 2026.

The consultation provided an important platform to bring forward the realities, priorities, and aspirations of young people and women across Africa. For us, meaningful development must go beyond discussions—it must translate into inclusive policies, investment, partnerships, and practical opportunities that reach young people and women at the community level.

Youth Help Sierra Leone remains committed to advancing youth leadership, women and girls’ empowerment, climate action, decent livelihoods, and meaningful participation in decision-making.

We are ready to collaborate with governments, development partners, civil society organizations, donors, and youth networks that share our vision of an Africa where no young person or woman is left behind.

Together, we can move from consultation to action. 🌱🤝🌍

🌱 Growing Food. Growing Incomes. Growing Hope. 🇸🇱

At Youth Help Sierra Leone (YHSL), we are working alongside local communities to turn farming into a pathway to opportunity. Through vegetable and maize production, we empower women, girls and young people with practical agricultural skills while promoting Village Savings and Loan groups that help families save, invest and build sustainable livelihoods. 🌽🥬💚

For us, every seed planted is more than food—it is a step toward income, dignity, food security and self-reliance.

🤝 We welcome donors, foundations and development partners to invest in locally led solutions that help communities grow their own future.

Plant opportunity. Empower people. Harvest lasting change. 🌱
