Girls' mentoring sessions are held throughout the year covering a multitude of topics. One topic was drug abuse and its effects, and to make it more interactive the girls were split into groups and were told to write their own play and then act out the skit on why youngsters resorted to taking drugs and how they could seek help if they were struggling with drugs.  

The 2nd STEM Session was hosted by the Develop Africa Sierra Leone (DASL) team over the summer, utilizing the engaging Legos Mindstorms sets. This innovative program aims to train our school-going beneficiaries in building Lego robots, fostering their interest and passion for STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) and robotics.

A girls' mentoring session was held recently on makeup artistry, thanks to the generous support from our donors. Makeup artistry is a creative and empowering field that involves the skillful use of cosmetics and artistic techniques to enhance one's appearance. This mentoring session was a vital platform for aspiring makeup artists to gain knowledge, guidance, and support, enabling them to excel in this creative industry.

The mentoring session was divided into two parts, offering a comprehensive experience for the 22 girls in attendance interested in makeup artistry. 

Photography and video editing was the topic at a recent mentoring session that was attended by 16 students.  Thanks to the ongoing support from donors like you, each of the attendees received transportation to the mentoring session and lunch.  

Unemployment is a global challenge; one of the ways we are addressing that challenge is through mentoring young girls and conducting workshops to provide them with skills beyond their regular school and college education. 

Thanks in part to your support, a mentoring session was held for 27 girls on how to use their creative skills to develop new products themselves, we could help broaden their thinking of not just “looking” for jobs but learning to create their “own” jobs. 

Mentoring sessions empower future leaders with the skills and knowledge they need to be successful.  Mentoring shows mentees the art of the possible, takes the limitations off their thinking, and opens their eyes to the exceptional future that could lie ahead of each of them.
