Empowering Isatu's Future in Hair Dressing

By Amy Baty-Herbert | Project Leader

In Sierra Leone, workforce training is more than just skill-building—it’s a crucial pathway to self-reliance and economic stability. Through vocational programs in fields like tailoring, hairdressing, catering, and computer technology, individuals gain practical, marketable skills that open doors to employment or entrepreneurship. These opportunities not only improve personal livelihoods but also contribute to the economic growth and resilience of entire communities.

Isatu, one of the beneficiaries, expressed her gratitude to YOU in this video saying, “Hello, my name is Isatu, and I am a beneficiary of Develop Africa Sierra Leone. Thank you for covering my hairdresser program cost. Thank you!”

Her heartfelt message reflects the deep impact vocational training has—not just in building a career, but in restoring hope and dignity.

Your contributions help provide the resources and support needed for more individuals to gain skills, secure stable incomes, and build brighter futures.

By investing in workforce training, you're helping to lay the foundation for long-term development and economic empowerment across Sierra Leone. Thank you for being a part of this transformative journey.

Warm regards,
Amy and the Develop Africa Team
