Cross-cutting themes that underpin all our work
Equal
opportunities
We ensure the youth have equal access to opportunities, addressing all kind of barriers and social norms that restrict them.
Inclusion and representation
With limited youth influence in decision-making, we empower them and amplify their voices to shape outcomes that benefit their lives.
Mental health support
With mental health care system largely non-existent, we fill the gap by strengthening youth well-being to build strong mindset, agency, and life skills.
Climate resilience and adaptation
We build resilience and support climate adaptation by giving communities the tools, tools and ressources to adopt sustainable practices.
Peacebuilding and social cohesion
We promote peace and unity through dialogue, reconciliation, and collaboration to build social cohesion and opportunity.
Ending clannism and discrimination
"We combat clannism and discrimination, which weaken society and deprive people of fair opportunities, by advancing merit, inclusion, and justice."
