LIFE SKILLS AND MENTORSHIP PROGRAMME
We initiated a Life Skills 5 day pre-camp training as a means of building tight relations with the schools towards the realisation of the Full Life Skills & Mentorship Training Camp. We are working with two Primary Schools and one High School. The pre-camp training serves as a tool to measure the knowledge base of the learners and the kind of issues that they deal with on a daily bases which hinder their focus on academic studies. Through this programme we reached 3 local schools and the total intake was 435 learners from 11-17 years old.
