HIGHLIGHTED PROJECTS
DIVERSION - project
No prison sentence for small offences
Children who committed petty offences take part in the 10-weeks Life Skills program. The program also includes family and community amendment and reintegration to school/work. It teaches parents, police and community members to offer early support to children at risk. Annually over 150 children successfully graduate.

Prison reintegration project
Counselling - vocational skills - follow-up
The reintegration project for young offenders is still the hart of our program in Malawi. Young offenders positively change their behaviours, learn skills that enable them to earn an income and amend the relationship with their families. With this stable basis, at least 90% of the released the young persons build a good life after release.

Training & entrepreneurship
Especially for the most margizalised youths
Most youths in our programs missed the chance for education and rely on unstable piece works for their income. At our training centers, they learn a skill, business management, Life Skills and positive parenting. We currently seek opportunities to start a production center and shops for work experience and income-generation.
