MYCRO Sierra Leone
Movement for Youth and Children's Rights Organization (MYCRO-Sierra Leone) is a youth and child development synergy in Sierra Leone. We advocate for children's rights, youth development, and women's empowerment in communities in the Western rural district and the Bombali and Tonkolili districts of Sierra Leone.
Our work also focuses on peace, nonviolence, sexual and reproductive health, education for all, and food banking in Sierra Leone. Our work in partnership with Empathy Norway focuses on peacebuilding through nonviolent communication trainings in Sierra Leone. We are a partner organization to the Food Banking Regional Network in the UAE and the Egyptian Food Bank in Cairo; these help to provide uncooked food items to the most vulnerable communities in our serving communities, and we are currently working to fully establish the Food Bank depot in Sierra Leone, deepening our work with farmers and food vendors in working collectively to combat food insecurity in Sierra Leone.
We are a partner organization to the Professors Without Borders organization in the United Kingdom. Since their inception, Prowibo and MYCRO have conducted two educators' summits in Freetown, targeting about 75 secondary school teachers at each training. The objective is to empower educators so they could be more equipped to deliver timely education to students of this new era of technology and improve the educational system through AI, computers, and other digital systems.
Our community health program called the Initiative for Safer Health has impacted the lives of the aged and vulnerable. Through our volunteer doctors and nurses, we were able to provide medical treatment to about 2000 households in the MCA Community, Makeni town, Kenema town, and Mamaka village. Arrangements are underway to commence this intervention in 2026.
The Nonviolent Communication training is gaining ground in Sierra Leone through this meaningful partnership between MYCRO-Sierra Leone and Empathy Norway. We are aiming at transforming Sierra Leone through nonviolent communication. We are therefore requesting that you join this new and meaningful tool.
Thank you.
