Youth Trades School

In the context of the rapidly evolving global economy, the Youth Trades Program (YTP) emerges as a pivotal initiative aimed at empowering young individuals to achieve independence and effectively bridge the gap between educational offerings and labour market demands. The YTP is centred on fostering independence among youth. It recognizes the critical need for young individuals to develop the vocational skills, confidence, and self-reliance necessary for economic self-sufficiency, informed decision-making, and adaptability in the local market.

Rural Development Partners

Reusable Menstrual Pads

The Youth Menstrual Hygiene Management Program addresses period poverty in Malawi, Africa. Rural Development Partners and Nexus Impacts aim to implement tangible lasting systems across school districts in rural communities. These multi-faceted systems manage menstrual hygiene and health deficits among young girls and women by teaching them sewing skills specifically tailored for creating reusable pads and educating them on sexual health, hygiene, and other relevant topics. Designed around sustainability, the project has a system involving local mother’s groups, and through the establishment of sewing clubs within schools, these local girls and women are fostering independence and systemic support for future generations.
