Over the next five years, our organization aims to achieve the following goals:
- Empowerment and Poverty Alleviation: We aspire to significantly increase the number of underprivileged and vulnerable children, as well as women and youth in rural communities, who have gained access to essential services and acquired income-generating skills. Our goal is to break the cycle of poverty for at least twenty thousand (20,000) individuals within this timeframe.

- Partnerships: Strengthen existing partnerships and establish new collaborations with like-minded organizations, governmental bodies, and international agencies. Our goal is to create at least twenty (20) strategic partnerships that will enhance our capacity to address the critical issues within our thematic areas of focus.
