We will educate and empower 100 young leaders from marginal urban areas for them to develop entrepreneurial skills and create social projects to impact their own communities while mobilizing other youngsters to join them. Instead of being part of unsafe spaces and gangs and continue with the cycle of poverty and violence we will make them part of our methodology "Believe in yourself to create for others" based in leadership, entrepreneurial & creative skills in a secure, harmonious environment.
11% access higher education, 95% at risk of joining gangs, 60% live below poverty line, 30% get pregnant before 20s and domestic violence and gangs are the everyday. No opportunities of decent jobs or university and primary education lacks of focus on socio-emotional skills. We offer a space of personal growth through workshops of creativity, social innovation, inner growth and life plan where they can develop their entrepreneurship skills and learn through affection in a secure environment.
