The Helping Youth for Self-Employed Leader (Shoes) program is designed to empower young individuals by equipping them with valuable skills in shoe-making, footwear design, and small-scale business management. By learning practical craftsmanship and entrepreneurial practices, participants gain the ability to start their own ventures, generate income, and contribute to the local economy.

This initiative not only provides hands-on training in creating durable and marketable footwear but also builds confidence, leadership qualities, and business acumen. The focus is on transforming unemployed youth into skilled artisans and entrepreneurs who can lead by example, inspire others, and build sustainable livelihoods.

Through this program, young people are encouraged to embrace self-employment as a dignified career path. By nurturing innovation, discipline, and leadership, the initiative aims to create a generation of self-reliant youth who can overcome economic challenges, reduce dependency on limited job markets, and take active roles in community development.
