We exist to TRANSFORM the lives of At-Risk Youths who: • Come from Dysfunctional Families • Come from Unsuitable Family Living Environment • Lack in Spiritual Values • Live in Poverty • Have Negative Peer Group Influence • Face Unequal Education Opportunity OUR HUMBLE BEGINNINGS In the last few years, we realized that the problem faced by underachievers and school dropouts; or we term them as ‘At-Risk Youths' is bigger than what we assumed it to be. It was found that nearly 7,000 students are dropping out from school every year before reaching SPM. Our involvement with grass root based community work confirms that there was no concerted effort to investigate, analyse and find suitable solution for students who fail to achieve academically due to various reasons like poverty, broken homes, inadequate attention and care in school and many others. It was decided then unless we have an organisation solely dedicated to take care of the needs of these youths, the future of these youths going to be bleak. All our activities and programmes are geared towards transforming At-Risk Youths, equipping them with right skills and placing them with proper jobs so they can be gainfully employed. WHY ARE WE DIFFERENT ? We use a business model to achieve our social goals for public benefits by transforming youths at-risk in our community into a responsible citizen 100% of our profits are reinvested to sustain and further our mission We use HOLISTIC training approach in skills training
