The AdAmi Project works together with young mothers in Sierra Leone to build happy, healthy and independent lives.
200+
young mothers supported each year, with a 97% completion rate
87%
of participants report greater confidence and self-esteem
90%
of vocational graduates report increased income and financial security
We facilitate opportunities, foster hope, establish life-long friendships, reunify families, build community and amplify the voices and visibility of young mothers so that they can be the drivers of their own lives and stories.
