What is LIFT

What is LIFT?

LIFT is a Youth Program that works alongside teens and youth equipping them with essential values and life skills to help them rise to their full potential. As we see the challenges that youth face in today’s world, from issues relating to identity, peer pressure, unhealthy relationships, anxiety, etc,,, we do find that it has a great impact on their learning and performance in and out of school. Therefore, as a team we believe that it is important that we equip our future citizens of this world with essential life skills so that they can stand strong amidst the storms they may be facing instead of being tossed to and fro by it.

LIFT Fest

Inter School Festival

This is a fun full day festival bringing together various schools who have participated in our value ed  and life skills programs. This festival will provide students with the opportunity to connect with one another, showcase their talents and abilities through healthy competition and games.

There will also be other activities for the students to take part in such as a music concert, food and activity stalls etc. An event like this would provide them with a platform to build their sense of belonging and purpose by actively connecting and contributing to their community.
