Every young person has the right to influence their own future. Young people are not only the future, but also the present, and that’s why it’s important to guarantee equal opportunities for everyone today to get their voices heard. The Taksv\u00e4rkki campaign 2023\u20132024 deals with young people’s influence and ideas about the future.<\/p>

In the \u201cYou make a difference\u201d campaign, young people from Sierra Leone talk about their work making a difference, the related challenges and their visions for the future.<\/span><\/p>

Sierra Leonean youth dream of education, work, equality and a peaceful future. However, poverty, corruption, inequality and climate change have hampered their schooling, opportunities to influence society and future prospects. The civil war that started in 1991 and lasted for 11 years destroyed their homeland almost completely and deprived many of their childhood and youth. Life was also significantly complicated by the Ebola epidemic in 2014\u20132015, when, for example, schooling was interrupted for nine months.<\/span><\/p>

However, many problems have been successfully solved and people are working for the future of Sierra Leone. The country passed an equality law in 2022, which guarantees women 30 percent of parliamentary seats and positions in local government. The recently renewed youth legislation also guarantees better opportunities for young people to participate in regional decision-making than before.<\/span><\/p>

Young Sierra Leonean changemakers promote equality and the inclusion of people with disabilities, intervene in harmful practices and prevent gender-based violence. They organize talk shows on the radio, educate teenagers about sexual and reproductive health and rights, speak in their communities about the rights of girls and disabled people, and challenge the authorities to act equally.<\/span><\/p>

Taksv\u00e4rkki promotes the conditions for young people to participate in the development of their own communities. Thanks to the funds collected in Taksv\u00e4rki, our work can continue. The collection proceeds are used to finance our development cooperation program. In addition to Sierra Leone, we support youth inclusion and human rights in Guatemala, Kenya, Malawi, Mozambique, Nepal and Zambia.<\/span><\/p>
