Mission Statement
Provides the most effective educational and self development programs to the youth and community at large
Description
We focus on youth empowerment, water and sanitation hygiene and our 2 main activities are; A Water Kiosk at School: This is a primary school-based and students managed business financed by ITF. Provides people in the community with clean, drinking, tap water without being dependent on a third party to maintain the systems. It is both educational and profitable business teaching students business and entrepreneurial skills. Public drinking tap water station: Plastic soup is a worldwide problem, especially in developing cities without proper solid waste management systems. The menace of single-use plastic bottles interferes with natural ecosystems, as a result becomes a huge threat to the environment. Together with the City Councils we place drinking tap water fountains for people to access clean tap water without having to use the single-use bottles as a way of conserving the environment.
Mobility Projects: This is the European Union-Erasmus plus programme co-financed capacity building projects, which gather global partnerships from different organisations and countries/continents including ITF with an aim of tackling youth unemployment by bridging educational sector and labor market enabling young people to undergo work based learning and strengthen cross sectorial networkingCAUSE AREAS
