The Foundation has impacted the lives of over 10,500 youths through projects/initiatives on Leadership, Career Guidance and Counselling/Values Education, Vocational skills, ICT and Entrepreneurship/Financial Literacy, book drive and after school academic programs.
“In the past four years, we have collaborated with our board of directors, donors, and volunteers to achieve our mission and we relentlessly look out for opportunities to promote the quality of education in our public schools and ways to build the capacity of young people by executing projects that focus on life skills and employability. Furthermore we continuously advocate for the rights of all our beneficiaries (orphans and vulnerable children, youth, persons with disabilities, prisoners, women and our local communities)â€, says Bitebo Gogo, the Executive Director of the Foundation.
