Youth Development & Life Skills Training
Youth Development
& Life Skills TrainingAt the Centre for Total Transformation (CTT), we are passionate about equipping youth with practical skills that lead to lasting economic independence. Through our Skills and Economic Empowerment Program, we create opportunities for young people to build livelihoods, support their families, and contribute meaningfully to their communities.
Many of the youth we serve face significant challenges such as poverty, family instability, early adultification, and lack of access to education due to poverty. Unemployment, drug abuse, early marriage, and a growing sense of hopelessness are some of the daily realities they endure. Our programs are intentionally designed to address these challenges.
Our entrepreneurship training helps youth develop a business mindset—covering basics like budgeting, marketing, customer service, and financial planning. These skills empower them to launch and manage their own small businesses.
Feeding Program
Nutrition, Healthcare & Wellbeing
Daily Feeding Program
At the Centre for Total Transformation (CTT), we are committed to meeting not only the educational but also the physical and emotional needs of the children and communities we serve. Our Feeding Program provides over 600 nutritious meals daily, ensuring that students and vulnerable community members have the energy and nourishment they need to learn, grow, and thrive.
Psychosocial Support
Recognizing that transformation requires more than just food and education, we have a dedicated on-site social worker who offers counseling and psychosocial support. Whether a child is struggling with grief, trauma, or social challenges, they receive compassionate, professional care in a safe and supportive environment. We have adopted a trauma-informed approach to our teaching, care, and service which is anchored on kindness, empathy, and being sensitive to the needs of the community we serve.
Health & Wellness
We also prioritize the health and well-being of our students and community members through monthly health check-ups. In partnership with a local clinic and volunteer nurses, we provide regular screenings and basic medical support to promote early detection and healthy lifestyles. Through this holistic approach, CTT is creating a safe haven where children and families receive not only academic opportunities but the care and support needed for true transformation—mind, body, and spirit.
Formal Education
Formal Education & Life Skills
At the Centre for Total Transformation (CTT), we believe in nurturing the whole child—mind, body, and spirit. Our holistic approach to education goes beyond the classroom, combining academic learning with practical life skills to raise confident, capable, and morally grounded young leaders.Formal Education
We offer comprehensive formal primary education ensuring children receive a solid academic foundation aligned with national standards. We nurture students from Early Childhood, focusing on foundational skills development up to primary school where we prepare them for high school. Our education model not only emphasizes excellence in Mathematics, Science, and Languages, but also in vocational skills training. Students are prepared for opportunities in agriculture, carpentry, catering, and entrepreneurship with a focus on economic empowerment at an early age. We also offer sports and recreational activities that promote physical and mental health, teamwork, and personal discipline. Life Skills Training
True transformation happens when young people are empowered to lead themselves and others with character and purpose. Our Life Skills Program is designed to build essential competencies that support personal development and long-term success. Our goal is to turn policy into action, and action into tangible changes that positively influences lives across the life course.Key focus areas include:
Effective Communication

Hygiene and Grooming

Discipline.
Fostering responsibility, consistency, and focus

Sustainable Agriculture
Sustainable Agriculture
Centre for Total Transformation (CTT), in line with Sustainable Development Goal number 2 – End hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture, believes that farming in sustainable ways will help the global community to meet society’s food needs without compromising the ability for current or future generations to meet their own needs. The goal of sustainable agricultural practices is to decrease environmental degradation due to farming while increasing food output.
There are many methods to increase the sustainability of agriculture which Centre for Total Transformation is implementing. CTT believes it is important to develop flexible business processes in agriculture and best farming practices. Sustainable agriculture provides a potential solution to enable agricultural systems to feed a growing population within the changing environmental conditions being caused by global warming and can be a more economical way of farming for poor and developing communities.
The Multipurpose Centre Concept
From a practical perspective, Centre for Total Transformation is doing a commendable job of working with the community through a multipurpose centre concept. CTT believes that a community multipurpose centre acts as a nerve centre for social, economic and spiritual development. Here, differences are laid aside and individuals’ God-given talents and gifts are stirred up by drawing together people from all walks of life regardless of gender, age, race, ethnicity, religion or political affiliation. For the orphans and other vulnerable children it is a refuge away from life’s everyday challenges where love, peace and joy are experienced. Physical needs are also met and ultimate values are taught in a non-political and non-religious environment, where men, women, the elderly, the youth and children meet at a social and neutral place in the hope of achieving social accountability.
Centre for Total Transformation has found that participatory workshops, which bring together managers and frontline staff (from different sectors) with community leaders and individual community members as equal participants, can help to break down barriers. Thus enabling people to benefit from different perspectives, identify shared problems and develop shared solutions. These workshops also help to identify who are the key stakeholders in a development project: Who needs to be included and why? Who can help (or hinder)? How to reach those who are difficult to reach?
Participatory methodologies have been used effectively to engage and mobilise community members as agents in their own community development. One successful mechanism is the recruitment of local people as voluntary community facilitators. This draws on local experience and knowledge, enhanced by training for the work and on-going professional support. As an intermediary between the community and professionals, the facilitator needs to be respected and trusted by both sides and to have a real voice in discussions with professionals, while not imposing his own views about what the community should do. While the facilitator may not have a high level of formal educational qualification, he will have good literacy, numeracy skills, excellent communication skills, a real motivation for the work and a background of community involvement, activism and/or enterprise.
