ABOUT US
What We Do
OUR MISSION
Our mission is to change the mindset of people who see young people as either victims or perpetrators of violence. As youths, we also contribute to promoting peace and sustainable development in several ways. We provide the answers to some of the challenges of young people, we re-orientate, coach and mentor young people to be active and responsible leaders, citizens and professionals.
OUR VISION
Our Vision is to see a world where young people are seen as partners in peace building and not perpetrators of violence. We wish to see women and girls being respected for who they are and given equal opportunities like their male counterparts. Our mission would have been accomplished when we see responsible youths full of energy and creativity and professionalism with transferable leadership qualities.
