HI is committed to an employment policy in favour of disabled workers.
JOB CONTEXT:
HI has been present in Sierra Leone since 1996. Various projects have been implemented since, in health, rehabilitation, social inclusion, rights promotion, etc. but since the end of the Ebola crisis, HI focused on education projects, mental health projects and protection projects.

This strategy is transformative as we strive to become more effective, efficient and financially stable in the context of uncertainties created by the global pandemic and reduction of overseas development aid by major institutional donors.
