‘’Empowering Young People to become Leaders in National Sustainable Development’’
Testimonials from those who have received support from the Network of Advocacy for Youth Empowerment (NAYE) are a powerful testimony to the positive impact that our programs and services have on the lives of vulnerable children and young people in Sierra Leone.
"As a mentor under the Adolescents Girls Equipped and Resourceful Project, I have experienced significant personal growth. The trainings on Adolescent Sexual and Reproductive Health Rights have not only equipped me with knowledge but have instilled a sense of responsibility in me to advocate for others. The monthly stipend I have received has allowed me to enroll in a computer skills course, which I believe will enhance my job prospects in the future. I’m grateful for this opportunity, and I now feel empowered to help guide other young girls towards a brighter future."
"This project has profoundly impacted my life. The safe spaces we create for adolescents have become a sanctuary for discussing critical issues that affect our community. Personally, I have learned so much about adolescent health rights through the training sessions. With the monthly stipends, I have started a savings group with fellow mentors, where we come together to save and support each other's small businesses. This experience has fostered a sense of community and empowerment among us."
"Participating in the Adolescents Girls Equipped and Resourceful Project has been transformative for me. I have gained invaluable skills in communication and leadership. The monthly stipend has allowed me to purchase educational materials and resources for my siblings, ensuring they have access to quality education. It has been fulfilling to know that I am contributing to my family's future while mentoring young girls in our community on important health topics."
"As a mentor, this program has opened my eyes to the realities many adolescents face. I've felt a strong calling to support my peers and mentor them through their challenges. The stipend I receive every month has helped me to develop a small vegetable garden at home. This not only provides food for my family but also serves as a training ground for girls interested in agriculture. I’m teaching them how to grow their own food, which is empowering them and contributing to our community's food security."
"The Adolescents Girls Equipped and Resourceful Project has given me a platform to be a voice for the youth in my community. The training sessions were vital, as they deepened my understanding of adolescent issues. With the monthly stipend, I was able to organize community workshops focused on health education for teenagers, reaching over 100 young people. This initiative has strengthened our community ties and increased awareness of vital health-related topics. I am proud to be part of this transformative journey."
"Receiving livestock through the project has been a life-changing experience for me and my family. The goats have not only provided a steady source of income, but they have also allowed me to contribute to my children's education. With the profits from selling goat offspring, I can now pay for their school fees and supplies. Our household no longer needs to worry much about our children education; we have a reliable source of food as well. As a woman in Barikuya, having control over these resources has empowered me to take part in community decision-making, further amplifying the voices of women in our village."
"The livestock I received as a part of the project has brought immense benefits to my community and my household. With the income generated from raising the goats, I have been able to start a small vegetable garden, which has increased our food security. This has significantly reduced hunger in our home. Additionally, I feel proud to be a part of a movement where women are empowered to control resources. My children's education has improved, as I can now afford to send them to school regularly. We are growing together as a family and a community, thanks to this initiative."
