Why We're Supporting Vulnerable Groups

Women have faced significant challenges as a result of the pandemic, including financial setbacks and detrimental effects on their overall well-being.

The Take the Lead program aims to empower vulnerable groups such as women, youth, and refugees by equipping them with the skills and knowledge needed to not only navigate industries heavily affected by the crisis but also pursue their desired careers.

Get ready to unleash your inner leader and acquire the skills necessary to reach new heights. Supporting vulnerable groups is not just the morally right thing to do; it also contributes to building a sustainable, fair, and inclusive future for all.

By ensuring the safety and well-being of vulnerable groups, we pave the way for collective progress.

Working towards an inclusive world, the Take The Lead program recognizes the importance of diversity and offers the opportunity for other vulnerable groups to enhance their skills as well.
