Youth Empowerment

We create opportunities that support positive outcomes for young people to achieve social and economic empowerment through exercising their agency. Our adolescent clubs are safe spaces targeting girls who have dropped out of school, and are at the risk of early marriage or pregnancy. They access life skills, financial literacy, vocational and entrepreneurial training, including in-kind startup capital, and are supported with linkages to work opportunities.

Education

Our education programme takes a community-based, participatory approach to learning. Schools are supported by a cradle-to-career network spanning early childhood to tertiary education, including access to libraries, adolescent clubs, and adult learning. We prioritise joyful learning, and engage participatory, alternative and innovative approaches for socio-emotional learning, play and character development.
