Our philosophy
History
In September 2007, Mind to Change started its first project with 25 former child soldiers in Sierra Leone. The main goal of the project was to bring former child soldiers back to mainstream society and to actively involve them in their communities, raise their awareness of their rights and duties as citizens of the community and the necessity of their contribution to society, and finally, to enable them to take responsibility over their own lives. The scholarship project was designed in collaboration with former child soldiers, based on their needs and the problems they still face in postwar society.
Mission & Vision
Mind to Change aims to help (former) child soldiers to empower themselves in (re)building their lives in the postwar society. Mind to Change runs various programs, all designed to help former child soldiers to help themselves.
Our main goal is to bring members of vulnerable groups back to mainstream society and to actively involve them in their communities, raise their awareness of their rights and duties as citizens of the community and the necessity of their contribution to society, and finally, to enable them to take responsibility over their own lives.

Projects
Our main activity is education, in every sense thinkable. Our programs will range from basic literacy and basic knowledge trainings to scholarships for basic education, academic education, to professional training and job counseling. Mind to Change will make long term investments in individuals as part of their communities. We will relate the needs of the individual to the needs of their communities and the society as a whole, to advise and to enable them to undergo the appropriate training for their professional development.
