WAYout offers free training and facilities in music, film and the arts to street and disadvantaged youth in Sierra Leone. Learning creative skills boosts self confidence, gets people in to jobs, helps street youth re-engage with education or opens the door back home.

WAYout Music : WAYout opened the first music studio in Freetown in 2012, funded by The Joe Strummer Foundation who later funded a training studio, a prison studio and a mobile studio which reaches areas with 70% youth unemployment.

Frank Turner visited WAYout "WAYout makes a measurable difference to a real group of people". Lives are changed, members gain respect and reconnect with family after many years.

We get people in to media jobs in National TV stations or as freelancers. WAYout recently opened the Womens Media Group in the provinces near Bo. 60 women with little education have learnt filmmaking skills and produced short dramas about women's rights screened to full audiences in local villages.

WAYout has made more than 350 films many of which have been broadcast internationally and have been official selection in many film festivals. We work with the gangs, run music therapy sessions in the psychiatric hospital and prison, publish poetry books, hold photography exhibitions, get people in to jobs and off the streets and more but we about to close down for lack of funding. We need your help
