Objectives Sierra Leone

Objectives of the Sierra Leone programme

To create functional and sustainable community structures, which involve and support children and youth.
To increase awareness of and support for child rights and psychosocial development of children and youth in the community as well as at district and national levels.
To increase positive dynamics/cohesion within the community.
To improve learning opportunities for children and youth.
To lobby for improved government policies and regulation to protect children’s rights
To promote the establishment and functioning of (semi)governmental structures that protect children’s rights in chiefdoms of Port Loko and Bombali districts.

In addition to that, WCH-SL will increasingly contribute to the efforts of other (governmental and non-governmental) organizations by means of offering training to project staff in our specific areas of expertise (e.g. creative methodologies; psychosocial interventions; life skills; integrated livelihood for youth; and child rights).
