Overview

Mission

Primary purpose of the organization is youth empowerment through various strategies and programmes.

What it reported doing in 2025

Entrepreneurship Initiative - The year's achievement in this area was substantial. 25 young people enrolled in the program were successfully trained and graduated. They were the largest group ever. All were able to successfully launch their businesses. Their successful graduation brought the total number of young people so far supported to establish and successfully run their businesses to 125 since the establishment of the organization in 2015.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Program spending has declined or grown slowly and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
