Liseli Initiative

We had an insightful youth engagement meeting with the Light of Life Youths in Mulala and surrounding communities. The session provided a valuable platform to better understand the key challenges young people are facing, helping us shape a more responsive and strategic approach as Liseli Initiative.

Together with these 30 passionate youths, we are embarking on a journey of change empowering them to serve as community ambassadors who will drive positive impact from within.

A special thank you to Daniel for mobilizing and bringing together such an inspiring group of young leaders.
