Partly because of the civil war, young people in Sierra Leone have been maligned and marginalized. Attitudes are starting to change because of the active and valued role young people played in the Ebola outbreak. This project will give them a media platform to express themselves and tell their stories of achievement and success. Comic Relief funds will be used to produce a new youth radio show and documentaries made by and for young Sierra Leoneans. As a result of the project, a space will be created for the voices of young people in Sierra Leone to be heard more in the future with broadcasters and politicians increasingly recognizing the legitimacy of that voice.
