We aim to support the increasing number of young people who are affected by the debilitating effects of low self-esteem /aspirations and the overall effects of low economic and social disadvantage, and structural racism which can impact upon the lives of BAME youths.

Tech 4 Teens (Lagos)
We have gathered over 80 teenagers in Lagos for our Tech 4 Teens masterclasses, and what happens each time is electric. We introduced them to the world of digital marketing, branding, and blogging. For many, it was their first encounter with anything digital.

Bootcamp for Child Offenders (Lagos)
Inside a correctional centre in Lagos, we met boys who had been written off. Our bootcamp was not just about teaching life skills; it was about telling them, "You are not your past.”
“They didn’t just talk at us—they made me feel like I could dream again,” one boy shared.
Easter Boot Camp for Single Mothers (Logun Logun, Lagos)
This Easter, something extraordinary happened in the heart of the Logun Logun community. It was not just a gathering, it was a restoration. Thirty single mothers came together not for charity, but for healing, sisterhood, and strength.
My Voice Counts (Mushin, Lagos)
On Easter Monday in 2024, we brought together 60 teenagers in Mushin for a day packed with leadership talks, competitions, and fun. There were tears. There was dancing. There was confidence. “I now see myself as someone who can do anything,” one participant told us.
