Help is Our Main Goal
Talented Young People Everywhere Sierra Leone (TYPE-SL) is a youth based registered non-governmental and non-profit civil society organization with regional offices in the North South and Eastern regions and its Headquarters in the Western Area of Sierra Leone. TYPE-SL’s motto is expanding initiatives to Children Women Youths and deprived communities in the country.
On October 6th 1998 an educated and socially conscious Sierra Leonean dynamic and like-minded young individual from Port Loko District established this organization by the name of Ibrahim Havinash Kenie Shaid (May his soul rest in peace) now owned by Isatu Aminatu Sesay (Mrs). TYPE-SL was founded with the primary goal of serving as a platform for community development and empowerment focusing on children youth and women while maintaining a non-religious a
Considering the development sector the organization’s focus was not kept limited either in terms of geography or sector. Whilst operating in different districts in Sierra Leone TYPE-SL has been carrying a range of interventions in the areas of education health water sanitation& hygiene child protection gender equality secure livelihoods youth women and community empowerment governance human rights securing job training and opportunities and advocacy/research.
The type of activities undertaken by the organization range from advocacy capacity building to service delivery with focus remaining on the deprived and marginalized segments of the society. Whereas in terms of operations what characterizes TYPE-SL’s functioning are its efforts to (a) enlist involvement of the locals when initiating activities at the grass root level; and (b) mobilize Children Youths and women for bringing peace tolerance and development in society.
Although a somewhat new entry in the development arena TYPE-SL – owing to the systemic linkages of its members with national & international funding agencies – enjoys a diverse portfolio characterized by partnership with organizations like Plan International Global Funds for Children Global Funds for Malaria HIV &AIDS European Commission (EC) World Food Program (WFP) USAID DFID and the Sierra Leone Government.
We work around the globe to save lives.
We strive to achieve a long-lasting improvement in the quality of life for both children and youths in deprived communities in Sierra Leone. Our approach involves youth empowerment, increasing youths' participation in governance, supporting youth employment and entrepreneurship, and adding value to their lives across cultures. We aim to improve the contribution and participation of youths through skills, employment, and entrepreneurship, enabling them to make meaningful contributions to their respective communities. Our goal is to encourage deprived children and youth from different backgrounds to realize their potential within their communities and foster the rebuilding of relationships among families and communities.
