PASSION YOUTH PROJECT 

Passion provides opportunities for young people to develop life skills and the capability to participate in society and grow into mature and responsible individuals. It provides recreational and leisure activities within a dedicated space where the young people feel safe to talk openly with the youth worker and volunteers about matters affecting their lives. Other activities include outreach work.
