Rising Stars: Empowering Children as Leaders

Summary

This program is made for children of our remedial schools and Self-Help Group members of Prime Trust. These parliaments are designed for children between the age of 10 and 17. The children are encouraged to engage in local, national and international democratic processes. Essentially these children are discussing issues that directly affecting their lives. Through these parliaments we believe that every child should be able to express themselves openly and without fear.

The children living in vulnerable condition are not raised well and they do not know their rights.
