Helping Hands for Development Sierra Leone is volunteer non-profit
organization strives to promote capacity- building in and through skills development on Information and Communication Technologies
(ICTs), advocacy and regulations.
Helping Hands for Development was established on: 28th
April 2005 at the Milton Margai College of Education and Technology. The organization was established to provide IT skill
to vulnerable children and youth by increasing potential that Information and Communication Technologies are having on the
socio-economic and technological progression within the development discourse.
We do not restrict our operation to a particular race or sex,
age group or area. Our focus is to deliver quality Information Technology (IT) skill through training, conferences and workshops,
for children and youth aged 10-30 years who have been found in major rural townships and inner city areas and that this group
will continue to be our major focus of attention.
The notion that prudent application
of ICT’s in the areas of education, HIV/AIDS, culture, media, human rights and so on can have positive outcomes in classic
development objectives such as poverty reduction, vulnerable children and youth empowerment and increasing access to new knowledge,
are important consideration that need to be evaluated in the context of child care and development.
