Youth Program

In order to ensure optimum social change, there must be a transfer of knowledge, wisdom and expertise from the older generation to the youths. MPYRAA’s motive of empowering the youths sterm from the desire to secure a good future for our nation. Vices like alcoholism, drug abuse, rising internet crimes, sexual abuse and others must be kicked out of the minds of youths. These can only be achieved through interactive seminars, workshops and symposia. Besides seminars and workshops, MPYRAA has companies and partners who are willing to give it a chance to send in Youths for professional training as interns. This will be for those who enjoy educational facilities. Drop-outs also will not be left out in this scheme. MPYRAA has hopes to create Poultries, Piggeries and new fishing methods just to occupy and train this class of youths to become highly mechanized in Animal farming.
Handicraft is also encouraged at MPYRAA as it is preparing to participate in subsequent handicraft competitions to showcase the talents of the youths and also create an international market for the sales of the crafts products.
There are 3 major aims for this YES Project:
•    Build in a responsible nature in all the youths towards social and national issues,
•    Create Entrepreneur and leadership skills in youths
•    Educate and create in youths a spirit of peace and how to consolidate same in our society and finally how to manage issues when peace is threatened.
