Maendeleo Youth International

As a parent who has personally faced challenges in believing in myself, I felt compelled to create this foundation.

I envisioned a collaborative effort between our community and other organizations grappling with similar issues to support our children, who are future leaders. The primary objective is to safeguard them from harm, as many engage in behavior that is detrimental to themselves or their community. Our concerns are centered on addressing the needs of children and providing support to parents and peers. These concerns include family matters, substance abuse, divorce, a sense of superiority leading to misguided decisions, seeking shortcuts by comparing oneself to celebrities, inadequate spiritual and cultural education, and the impact of the 2021 pandemic lockdown on mental health.
