Rebecca Sarah Jawara

Rebecca is a 20 year-old computer engineering student, mental health activist, singer and entrepreneur from Sierra Leone. She runs a mental health awareness programme that helps to break the stigma surrounding mental health in her country.

Rebecca has been serving on youth panels for projects including the TarKura Youth Panel and With and For Girls Fund, which puts young people in a position to decide which groups to fund. Her dream is to be a software engineer, serial entrepreneur and participate in as many projects that will help create a safer and better world for girls and young people.

One action Rebecca would like everyone to take:

"Talk about mental health openly."
