Excited to share that with support from Women of Potential International, Girls Connect Sierra Leone has embarked on an incredible journey of skills empowerment training to pupils of New Generation Academy in Makeni.

Within these four weeks, 20 pupils and 7 teachers will dive into the world of creative arts, mastering the techniques of Gara Tie Dye and Bead Making. This initiative is perfectly aligned with our mission to provide essential support to young people, by equipping them with vital skills that pave the way for a brighter future.
Here's what our comprehensive training will cover:
Gara Tie Dye where participants are learning the traditional art of Gara Tie Dye, a beautiful and intricate technique that not only connects them with cultural heritage but also enhances their creativity and craftsmanship.
