Hawawa Model Management & Image Consultancy, the country’s premier model development agency, has unveiled a comprehensive series of training programs aimed at nurturing talent, building self-confidence, and equipping both aspiring models and non-models with essential life skills. Located at 68 Pademba Road in Freetown, the agency’s new course plans are designed to transform personal presentation and public image through modeling, etiquette, and confidence-building.
Recognized as the leading force in Sierra Leone’s modeling industry, Hawawa Model Management is now offering three dynamic training plans—Starter, Intermediate, and Mastery—each tailored to meet participants at different stages of personal and professional development.
The 3-Month Starter Plan is ideal for beginners and young individuals who wish to explore the world of modeling while improving their self-esteem. The program includes weekly classes that focus on posture, poise, and confidence, with introductory lessons in public speaking and runway basics. Fun, interactive activities are integrated to help participants express themselves freely and develop essential social skills.
“This course is not just for those dreaming of a runway career,” said a spokesperson from Hawawa. “It’s for any young person who wants to gain confidence, learn self-presentation, and build a positive image.”
The 6-Month Intermediate Plan builds on foundational skills with bi-weekly sessions that introduce more advanced modeling techniques and social etiquette. This program emphasizes articulation and presentation through regular public speaking exercises. A key feature is the focus on personality development—helping participants overcome shyness and embrace self-assurance. Enrollees will also have the opportunity to take part in mini photo shoots and small-scale fashion shows, offering real-world exposure to the fashion and media industry.
“This level of training helps refine poise, enhance communication, and open doors to new opportunities in both modeling and everyday life,” the agency representative explained. “It bridges the gap between personal development and professional preparation.”
The 12-Month Mastery Plan is the most in-depth program offered and is suited for individuals serious about a career in modeling or those seeking comprehensive personal development. This immersive course covers advanced runway techniques, stage presence, performance coaching, and communication mastery. Participants also undergo etiquette and identity coaching to help define and project a strong personal brand.
The Mastery Plan includes special guest sessions with established professionals from the fashion, media, and communication industries. These mentoring opportunities provide insights into industry expectations, trends, and career pathways. Participants may also have the chance to perform in at least two major fashion events, showcasing their growth and development throughout the year.
“Hawawa Model Management is more than a modeling agency—it’s a platform for transformation,” said the agency’s director. “Whether you want to shine on the runway or speak confidently in public, our programs are designed to help you become the best version of yourself.”
With the launch of these structured plans, Hawawa Model Management continues to set the standard for excellence in modeling and personal development training in Sierra Leone. Interested individuals are encouraged to visit the agency’s headquarters or reach out for enrollment information.
This initiative underscores Hawawa’s commitment to youth empowerment, talent development, and raising a new generation of confident, articulate, and well-groomed individuals who can represent themselves and the country with pride.
