WHY?Expressing one's own challenges and feelings is veryhard for youth. The inability to express is oftenamong the causes of youth marginisalition,aggravating a condition of helplessness and lack ofself-confidence and worthiness.

Individual empowerment is a process of restoringpeople’s lost confidence, where the transition fromhaving no voice to express oneself in front ofsomeone leads to both a physical and a mentalchange. Whereas isolation is paralysis and silence,social belonging connects with upright bearing andaction.
