The Project

With such a large number of youth entering the poverty cycle, and with so many areas of the cycle failing to be addressed, like mental health challenges, lack of opportunities, and
low self-esteem - these youth fall behind.

Through their stories and hardships, we provide a glimpse beyond the labels they carry. Join us now, in solidarity, in our mission to tackle the poverty cycle, by listening to their resilient stories, often ignored and overlooked, we amplify their voices
