Empowering Youth Through Skills: Joseph's Journey

By Amy Baty-Herbert | Project Leader

Joseph at his business

Thanks to the generous support of donors like YOU, young people in Sierra Leone—students like Joseph—are gaining the skills, confidence, and experience they need to build sustainable livelihoods. Your investment in young people is creating real, lasting impact. 

Joseph is a proud graduate of Develop Africa Sierra Leone’s digital skills program. Today, he is self-employed, running a small but growing printing and digital services shop in his community. Because of supporters like you, Joseph was able to learn essential computer and business skills—laying the foundation for his entrepreneurial journey. 

We are deeply grateful for your commitment to empowering young people across Sierra Leone. Because of you, students like Joseph are not only learning skills—they’re transforming them into livelihoods. 

Your continued generosity can give young entrepreneurs like Joseph—the training and start-up equipment they need to build a strong and sustainable business. 

Thank you for helping build a brighter, stronger, more self-reliant future. 

With heartfelt thanks,
Amy & the Develop Africa Team
