As we wade through the day-to-day tasks of inspiring a new generation of leaders and transforming lives, sometimes without recognition or encouragement, remember to, “keep your eyes on the prize.” And for Sierra Leone Unites yes, the prizes are coming either in the form of trusting us with other taxpayers money or simply calling to hand us an award in “recognition of your significant contributions to sustainable development and humanitarian efforts, and participation in charitable activities, and care of the Indigent”.
Our appreciation to the African CEO Media Corporation for this award.
This award is dedicated to our hard working volunteers who have always made sure that the work is done.
We will continue to inspire, connect and equip a new generation of national leaders.

As we conclude training to equip the next generation of climate change champions, we are amazed by the pledges of the five schools in Kambia District to discourage food wastage, to plant more trees, to control emissions, conserve water, and educate people on the dangers of climate change. The future is promising for the younger generation. For their future, they will take action by singing and dancing for the climate, by organizing debate and quiz competitions, petitioning their local councils to take action on solid waste and engaging in field trips to conservation areas.
With commitment and support from their schools and communities, we are building the next generation of climate change champions.

23 youths, 4 adults and 3 children were engaged on the 6th and 7th December 2022 at Zazi Ghetto and Station Clan Base Ghetto in Makeni. The key messages were embracing peace and nonviolence including the need to mitigate and avoid drug and substance abuse and addiction. The team also provided counselling for the ghetto members with the goal to establish a brotherhood and build a community of resilience and committed family.

During the session, Sierra Leone Unites was able to understand the primary causes for the increase in drug abuse and why these people find themselves in the ghetto.

At the end of the engagement, it was clear that youth who find themselves in Ghettos are willing to engage in skills development programs and go back to school. It was also clear that there is a need for resolution to intra family disputes and disagreements between ghetto youths and their families.

Sierra Leone Unites continues to be an influential voice to youth in Sierra Leone so that they can be productive members of their communities.

On the 25th August, 2022, Sierra Leone Unites had a fruitful engagement with the United States Embassy in Freetown on how the US State Department can support the movement to engage over 500 first time voters on their civic rights and responsibilities.
