Teen mums graduate from Skills Training Centre

Our latest group of teenage mothers has graduated from the Skills Training Centre (STC) at our Aberdeen Women’s Centre in Sierra Leone, where they’ve gained valuable skills in catering and hospitality, tailoring, hairdressing and arts and crafts.

Parents and guardians joined the celebration to show their support.

Each graduate received an empowerment package to help them put their new skills into practice and we wish them every success as they begin this next chapter.
