During the 2024-25 school year, Inkerij launched its youth mentor program, aiming to empower young individuals through life skills discussions.

Monthly conversations and mentoring sessions were conducted with professionals from various fields. The initial meeting focused on identifying the needs of the youth, who expressed a desire for monthly grooming sessions.

A local barber volunteered his services, and a prominent beautician offered her salon space for a 10-month period.

The mentoring covered educational opportunities, entrepreneurship, social media, self-determination, and other relevant topics.

As the new school year approached, one of the youth demonstrated significant growth by (1) scheduling his own appointment, (2) arranging transportation, and (3) covering the expenses independently.

We are eager to witness the continued growth and success of this initiative and the future endeavors of its participants and with your support this opportunity can grow.
