Our new charity for 2019, YouMeWe NPO helps children in care homes in Japan prepare for adult life. They offer support programs that increase a child's opportunity to become a productive and financially independent young adult in their community. They help develop critical skills like language, writing and digital literacy, which increases self-confidence, leading to new future opportunities. Tutoring, internship opportunities, and guidance on higher education, offers children further support. Developed skills, communication abilities, and a thorough understanding of options set kids on the right path towards successful independence. KIWL’s mission in 2019 is to support YouMeWe's 'Digital Citizens' program, giving kids practical and employable skills for adult life. YouMeWe Founder Michael Clemons says, "What we love about the partnership with KIWL is that it’s a continuation of the work that they been doing over the years. We are always keen working with any group who is giving back to the community in which they live in and do business". Click on the logo to learn more.
