Adolescent mentorship & care

L-Care

Growing confidence. Strengthening care.

Our largest project to date brings adolescents, local women mentors, families and schools together in Lunga-Lunga. Through creative learning, guidance and stronger protection networks, L-Care is designed to help young people—especially girls—stay in school, make informed choices and grow as leaders.
