Every programme serves one idea: a young person who has been lifted will lift others.
The heart of YIM: days that change how a young person sees their life.
Student leaders from across the country gather to learn character, servant leadership, unity and reconciliation, hard work and integrity. Conferences run nationally, regionally and inside schools.
We go to the students, then we stay.
Trainers visit secondary schools with sessions on vision, character, leadership and enterprise. Every visit leaves a YIM Club behind, where students hold each other accountable and keep growing.
From a good idea to a first business.
Practical training in entrepreneurship and business development, girls' empowerment, leadership and character, and professional ethics. Students leave with skills the labour market needs, and some leave with a business.
Leadership is learned in friendship.
Small groups, evenings and mentor retreats where young people and mentors share life, not just lessons. Relationships come first; tasks come second.
Leaders serve their neighbours.
Sponsorship keeps vulnerable students in school, Mutuelle de Santé gives families health cover, and the shelter programme helps families in need with a safe home.
Young people speaking to young people.
Campaigns against drug abuse, teenage pregnancy and school dropout, led by students who have been through YIM themselves.
