Youth Help Sierra Leone actively participated and contributed throughout Day One of the CYMG Conference on the Environmental Dimensions of Antimicrobial Resistance (CEDAR).
The sessions strengthened our understanding of how untreated wastewater, antibiotic residues, poor sanitation, and unsafe waste disposal contribute to the development and spread of antimicrobial resistance. The Youth Action Showcase also demonstrated the power of young people to develop practical, community-led solutions through the One Health approach.
YHSL remains committed to promoting environmental health, community awareness, and meaningful youth participation in Sierra Leone. We welcome partnerships and collaboration with organizations, researchers, funders, and youth networks working to address environmental AMR.
