the FutureMe Programme

The Futureme programme aims to equip and empower 14-25-year-old girls with essential entrepreneurship skill sets. These skills are not only for employability but also for self-employment, which is becoming increasingly necessary in today's ever-evolving job market. This initiative recognizes the need to prepare young women for a future where the nature of work is rapidly shifting, ensuring they have the tools to thrive in uncertain times.

 

Teaching entrepreneurial skills to young girls can have a profound effect on their success in life. By imparting these valuable skills, girls not only gain the necessary confidence to excel in various roles such as engineer, computer scientist, founder, CEO, but also cultivate a mindset that empowers them to pursue any endeavor they choose with determination and resilience.


 
When girls are exposed to entrepreneurial thinking a profound change takes place. They become aware of opportunities around them, learn to problem solve, think critically and creatively, and become more confident in their ability to tackle challenges.
— Dr Cristal Glangchai.


Youth and women's entrepreneurship are key components that play a crucial role in driving sustainable and inclusive development across societies worldwide. Empowering individuals to harness their creativity, innovation, and skills through entrepreneurial ventures not only fosters economic growth but also promotes social equity and community resilience.

 

Our Goal

To provide an inclusive and nurturing environment where all girls, regardless of background or circumstance, can flourish and grow. Our mission is to equip young girls with the courage, confidence, and essential skills they need to thrive in an ever-changing world. By empowering girls today, we aim to not only reduce poverty but also foster the development of sustainable cities and communities for a brighter tomorrow.
