Proposed Project Title: Breaking the Marginalization Cycle: Technical Vocational Education and Training (TVET) & Skills Development for Pujehun District, Sierra Leone
Duration: 01.01.2017 to 31.12.2020
A large village household.
Concept Note: KNSL intends to support the people of Pujehun District, through the partner agency, Pujehun Youths for Development (PYD), by helping to establish a TVET Institute in the District Headquarters, Pujehun, to improve skills, employment and livelihood prospects for disadvantaged youth and women, including disabled people. The initiative is grounded on the premise that by targeting these beneficiaries, the programme would reach a major proportion of the population that has been denied access to high quality technical and vocational education and increase their employability. This would in turn translate into improved livelihoods for the beneficiaries, their families and the District as a whole.

A student from the Peine district collects money for Sierra Leone, a country shaken up by civil war. For this he received a Youth Prize.
Yannick Nothmann has been helping the Sierra Leone Children’s Network to collect donations for projects and students. Among other things, the money is going to peace projects. Donations also provide scholarships for children who want to go to school in the poor country.
This has not only impressed us, but also others. In May 2015, Yannick Nothmann received the Youth Prize of Braunschweig Cathedral.

February 2014
The rented tractor is shipped to Massa using the project’s ferry.
For the agriculture project we shipped 2 tractors to Massa and Bengani and the transport itself was already quite challenging as you can see from the pictures below. One the engines is an old Fendt tractor imported from Germany and the other one is a rented tractor that was procured locally in the project region. In the mean time, both have been put to use but unfortunately the rented tractor did suffer from some technical issues.

Children at Sam Abu Memorial Pre-School get a first glimpse of the alphabet.
At the end of January our international liaison officer Edward Mando visited the new kindergarten which has been established in the library building last autumn. The institution is named Sam Abu Memorial Pre-school in honor of the late PYD chairman and school director Sam Abu who was a strong contributor and advocate of our joint KNSL and PYD projects.
As a special gift for the kids Edward brought toys that had been collected from German donors.
