We believe that through our empowerment initiatives we would influence a positive mindset; thereby fostering self-development towards national transformation. \nA two weeks vocational training was carried out at the centre with facilitators from the field of arts and crafts\, photography \, videography and content creation. The boys were taught various skills including the basics of photography\, video editing\, soap making and perfume production. \nPerfume-making session \nSoap-making session \nVideo Editing training session \nPhotography training session  \nIt was an exciting experience for the boys having to learn new skills and it was very fulfilling to see them motivated to become self empowered and to contribute positively to their environment. \nThrough the program the boys were inspired and envision themselves for greater height and to become responsible to their society. Most of them shared their testimonies of how they will like to apply these skills for economic gains in the near future when they gain their freedom. \nAs we celebrate the #wysd2023\, there’s a big potential in your hands that will give you a leap into productivity and profitability. Think big\, explore your potential\, acquire a skill today!
