INTERNATIONAL YOUTH DAY 2026

Today, we celebrate the energy, creativity, and resilience of young people everywhere. From leading actions in tackling alcohol and drugs related harms, climate justice to driving innovation, youth are shaping a brighter, more inclusive future.

This year’s theme reminds us that youth voices matter — in communities, in policy, and in building peace. Let’s amplify their leadership, invest in their potential, and stand with them as partners for sustainable development.

To all young changemakers: keep dreaming, keep leading, and keep inspiring. The world needs your courage and vision more than ever.

A New Chapter Begins! FoRUT's own office

Today marks a historic milestone for FoRUT as we officially turn the sod for the construction of our very own office building at Grafton. This moment is more than bricks and mortar—it is a symbol of growth, resilience, and our unwavering commitment to building stronger foundations for advocacy, community empowerment, and national impact.

With this new office, FoRUT will continue to amplify voices, strengthen civil society, promoting mental health, livelihood and champion the fight against sexual gender-based violence, substance abuse and social harm.

We thank our partners - the Ministry of Planning and Economic Development, Ministry of Lands Housing and Country Planning, Sierra Leone Association of Non-Governmental Organization, staff, and community for walking this journey with us. Special thanks and appreciation to FORUT - solidaritetsaksjon for utvikling for providing the funds.

Together, we are laying the groundwork for a brighter, healthier Sierra Leone.
