Young people moving out of institutional homes face multiple challenges, particularly if after-care services are limited and where there is high social stigma. Wataneya has adopted a holistic and integrated approach that has successfully influenced more than 1,500 youth, care home leavers, under the age of 18 for self-reliance and integration through a combined use of technology, coordination with the government, and partnerships with the private sector. Wataneya was able to secure more than 50 partnerships with private sector donors, public sector implementing partners, and youth-led initiatives that have played a significant role in ensuring the sustainability of their project.
