The Need
Identifying and intentionally grooming young leaders and agents of change, is the crux of our mission. A lot of young people particularly from less privileged backgrounds are at risk of poorer life outcomes due to low self-esteem, lack of opportunities, knowledge, skills and guidance, and so on.
We recognize that personal development is an essential part of their growth and self-improvement, and programs that will develop their capabilities and potential, are vital to enable them realize their dreams and aspirations and fully maximize their potential.
