Madini Youth Foundation

The charity was inspired by a need to address the current poverty and unemployment rates among the youth in slum areas across the country. Many families live in deplorable conditions, unable to afford the cost of living and education for the youths. Young people are forced to drop out of school and give up on their dreams. Because of the inability to afford basic needs, they turn to a life of crime, drug abuse, and prostitution among other vices in an effort to survive. At Madini we strive to help young people overcome the social and economic barriers that prevent them from achieving their dreams and becoming self-reliant members of the society.
