This strategy focuses on uplifting the livelihoods of vulnerable young people and their families by promoting sustainable agriculture, supporting micro-business initiatives, and investing in education and essential life skills. For sustainable agriculture, examples include organizing workshops on best farming practices and providing mentorship through experienced farmers. This approach allows young people to gain practical skills and access to markets for selling their produce, ultimately improving their economic situation.
Supporting micro-business initiatives involves offering entrepreneurship training and providing small grants to young entrepreneurs. This helps them launch their businesses and form networks with local enterprises, creating sustainable economic opportunities. By facilitating microfinance and market research, these initiatives target economic empowerment.
Investing in education and life skills prepares young people for the future. Scholarship programs and financial literacy workshops, for instance, enhance their educational prospects and equip them with essential skills needed in daily life. Encouraging community service and establishing career counseling centers ensures a well-rounded development that can yield long-term benefits.
