Poverty has a way of in-dignifying people. For one to live a dignified life therefore, constant and stable source of livelihood is imperative. Poverty alleviation hence is one of our key pillars, through which we help restore dignity to needy young men by helping them engage in sustainable source of livelihood.
Stable mental and emotional state is key in helping people achieve their dreams, as well as lead a holistic life. Most of our beneficiaries come from challenging backgrounds which requires psychological interventions to help them deal with their pains in order for them to face life in a healthy way within themselves and in their interaction with others.
Spirituality is the engine that drives hopeful, meaningful and purposeful living. Spiritual motivation and guidance is therefore part of our philosophy and is integrated in all our programs.
