Ecc. 12:1

“Remember your creator in the days of your youth, before the day of trouble come and the years approach when you will say, “I find no pleasure in them”

Several youth suffer from low Self-esteem as a result of the conditions in which they live. There is an air of despondency among the youth in terms of what the future holds for them. Our ministry faces the challenge to communicate a positive message to such a group of people in order to help them deal with their self image. This is not easy although it is working/bearing fruit. Some of the youth have appreciated who they are and what they represent. The country’s constitution enshrines several rights of the youth within it but there is little connection with the reality on the ground.

May it dawn on the youth of the slums of the city that they are made in the image and likeness of God. They have all that it takes to succeed in life only if they think positive about themselves.
