This is achieved through nurturing the young talents with Knowledge in Creative Art, Entrepreneurship and Life Skills.

Through the TEARS Arts, Peace and skills Village (TAPEV), community members have been supported to enhance skills with a view to enhancing their livelihoods. The skills building program has been expanded to include a skills training on fashion designing, music, visual arts, entrepreneurship training and now boosts of a clothing line ,interior & functions decor, where those trained can be able to be absorbed to continue with their dream of changing their life and that of the community they come from.
Focus of the sustainable livelihood program is on linking the trainees to service providers so that they can be able to develop income generating activities which will lead to reduction of dependency which is the breeding ground for a host of other social ills in the community. We offer incubation to start up business and development of social support network to bridge between competition, quality and skills.
