WAYout provides digital media training to young, disadvantaged people in Sierra Leone. Now, due to user demand, we want to open a hub where editing systems are permanently set up, electricity is constant, support is on hand, cameras and kit are available and people can meet and share ideas

    Situation

    Sierra Leone has 70% youth unemployment and many of them live on the street. Partly due to the big give last year, WAYout offers hope to some of those disadvantaged young people in providing arts, media and music training- both to give people a voice and a chance to express themselves and explore issues important to them and to provide training to a professional level to enable some of these young people to get jobs in media or music. Getting them off the street and into meaningful employment

    Solution

    We provide a space with mac computers for design and editing, cameras for shooting and a music studio to record and learn music. It is a place where training is provided to a high standard and where people can meet and share ideas and get the support they need. We help people find jobs and create a base for potential clients to visit if looking to commission a video or piece of music. We promote our trainees and help them apply for jobs. We screen the films of our users make to the community
