YOUNG OFFENDERS LEGAL AID AND REFORM ADVOCACY (YOLARA)
Economic Opportunity
For many Form Four leavers in informal settlements, the transition from school leads to very limited pathways—few jobs and little access to further education.
​
At the same time, the need to earn income is immediate. Where legitimate opportunities are not available, crime becomes the most accessible employer.
​
We provide training to indigent youths in essential life skills—resilience, leadership, financial literacy—and business management. Teaching them how to develop viable business plans, navigate marketing strategies, and manage finances.
But we don’t stop at training; we provide what many programs fail to—direct access to start-up capital and long-term mentorship. Offering a viable income pathway from the outset.
