The Skills4Life project aims to develop a comprehensive structured educational programme that will aim at the individual – emotional, psychological and social needs – of individual young offenders so that it can effect a major change in their life course.

The Skills4Life project is expected to evolve into a stepping stone from a life of crime to a life of law-abiding personal fulfillment. It is about self-esteem, confidence and communication.

The Skills4Life project has two main objectives:

[a]. to frame a new context in which young offenders may shed off “offending identities” and negotiate new, prosocial non-criminal identities and pathways for their lives.

[b]. to provide them the tools to put their lives back on track after release.
