Youth for Sierra Leone Improvement (YSLI) is a non-governmental organization that is devoted to empowering the youths of Sierra Leone through education and health awareness.
YSLI strongly believes that the future of Sierra Leone lies in the hands of its youth. The future of Sierra Leone is bleak without a sound, educated and healthy youth population. The vision of YSLI is to help make basic education attainable for underprivileged youths.
Education is a clear-cut remedy for poverty. An educated citizen will not only be better equipped to contribute to Sierra Leone, but he or she will be a significant factor in breaking the cycle of poverty. A healthy mind is a knowledge factory, therefore, it is crucial that YSLI focuses on health and education. YSLI gives the same priority to both education and health, specifically the HIV/AIDS epidemic. By providing information on the prevention of HIV/AIDS, YSLI will help Sierra Leone develop into an educated and a healthy society.
