Youth Empowerment Seminars: Engaging young individuals in skill-building workshops, leadership programs, and motivational sessions. 3. Child Empowerment Activities: Visiting schools and orphanages to foster creativity, confidence, and curiosity in children through interactive sessions and educational activities. The project actively collaborates with NGOs and seeks support from organizations like the Nustainable Office to secure funding and resources. It also includes donation campaigns to ensure sustainability and broader outreach.
