Project Change adheres firmly to the belief that “every youth counts”. Yet owing to constraints in resources and capacity, we acknowledge the need to build a common platform for people from all walks of life to contribute to the well-being of our youths. As the African proverb goes: “It takes a village to raise a child”; Project Change aims to improve social acceptance and secure more policy support.
