Our History
Following the brutal civil conflict in Sierra Leone, our team established the Movement for Youth and Children’s Rights Organisation (MYCRO) MYCRO to assist with reversing the years of war into peace and development. MYCRO specializes in youth advocacy, peace education, nonviolent communication, feeding programs, medical, youth entrepreneurial, and life skills development programs in Africa.
We raise the next generation of youth to be more educated, peaceful, developmental, interconnected, and interdependent for a better world.
