Reaching out to young people, we provide a secure, non-judgemental atmosphere where young people can build self-esteem, confidence and gain essential skills, find ways to deal with issues they are faced with and make the right decisions to forge a future they can be proud of. Ultimately we enlighten, educate and engage the youths to construct a sustainable, peaceful and productive future for themselves and people around them.
Why we do…
Young people are vulnerable and in need support and SPD believes that every young person deserves the opportunity to be equipped with the right orientation and skills to adopt an optimistic approach to life which begins with building awareness, self confidence, a value system and self worth. As such, we seek to sensitize and enlighten young people on issues around them in relation to the communities they live in and by helping them identify their potentials and seek options to maximize these potentials.
How we do
- Community development activities.
- Promote Volunteerism and team participation.
- Production of Information, Education and Communication (IEC) materials to create awareness on issues affecting young people in our society.
- Developing interpersonal skills in youths through the organization of social activities like debates, youth camping, and educative talks.
- Workshops and seminars for youths and parents on self health and socio-developmental issues.
- Global Youth Exchange programme and the national Youth Exchange programme.
- Using radio & television advocacy programmes to create awareness of issues affecting young people
