These skills are incidental and necessary to ensure the benefit is provided to the beneficiaries.

What your organisation does

Help young adults to move away from anti-social behaviour through our RESPECT program. This enable Young Adults to make choices in their own life by self discipline, good citizenship and to develop their physical, mental and spiritual capacities and grow to full maturity as individuals and members of society and to improve the conditions of life.

We also ran a conflict transformation programme which assisted ex-combatants to shape a way forward of non violence towards peace and reconciliation.
