Youth Economic Empowerment

Socio-economic empowerment of youth: career development & awareness
It is understood that the youth peak is nearing, with a generation of dependence rather than independence. The problem of youths depending on others to sustain their living is why our organization is striving to achieve its goals by empowering youths to take charge of their lives with the necessary skills and encouragement we offer them.
We provide career development mentorship in schools to help students choose and work in the most promising careers, which can lead to creating independence through job creation after school rather than depending on others for employment. This will enable youths to be their own bosses in the modern economy. This is done through computer literacy training and access to helpful information to aid in finding good employment.
We partner with the government and like-minded NGOs to provide skills training and create youth empowerment programs and facilities in the community, ensuring youths are empowered with the ability to be resilient and thrive in modern living conditions.
