Youth Empowerment
Faith. Purpose. Leadership.
Young people are not merely future leaders. They can contribute today. This project develops character, leadership, life skills, education, confidence and a sense of responsibility.
For a young person who leaves school early, the alternative to a workshop bench is often an advance from a kiln owner. Placement and mentoring is the cheapest prevention work we do.
We say to every participant: you have value, you have gifts, you have responsibility, you have a future, and your life can make a difference.
“Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young.”
