ActionAid Sierra Leone started working in Sierra Leone in 1988. Since then we have been committed to making life better for Women , Girls and Communities.
With EU funding, ActionAid equipped young people in Magburaka with skills training materials for electrical, construction, catering, soapmaking, tailoring & hairdressing.
This boost from the #YAGGS project is unlocking their economic potential.

9 years ago, survival was the daily reality for women in Uptown Bar community,
many women had no safety net.
Then they started saving together. Even 5 leones was a start.
They named their groupโBye Bye to Povertyโ-a decision to drive poverty away for good.
