It is our hope that, in the years from fourteen to eighteen, young people learn, graduate, and contribute to their communities through service, further studies, or meaningful work. However, many struggle in school due to social forces that drain their energy, distort their purpose and misdirect their many talents towards meaningless pursuits. Under financial pressure, some opt for low-paid jobs over education, while others drop out, feeling school is irrelevant. Even graduates often face uncertainty about their next steps.

A growing number of young people are benefiting from complementary education like the Service to Humanity Programme, which fosters moral and intellectual empowerment, helping them see themselves as agents of social transformation. The programme gives youth the vision, motivation, resilience and clarity of purpose needed to take charge of their own education.
