Today’s youth are tomorrow’s citizens!
With Bana Buddies, young participants benefit from dedicated training and hands-on experience, allowing them not only to acquire essential skills but also to strengthen their autonomy and sense of responsibility.
Additionally, by receiving compensation from the parents of the children they accompany, they also begin to develop financial independence - all while contributing to a socially impactful, civic-minded project.
