Letter of Inquiry
As at the opening remarks, I would like to have a preamble on what is currently happening with the young people, especially those residing in residential shanty areas. In most states, a young person is below the age of majority, any preadult. These are people at a perilous stage of life whom the slightest mistake made by them might crush one entirely for the rest of their life or create them for a more significant location (Vijayakumar, Nandita, et al., 419). These young adults going through the adolescent phase need much senior guidance as they have proved very vulnerable. They need the motivation to keep up with their school works and understand the changes they may be experiencing with their bodies. The bare reason that most of these adolescents meet many different people who may say or do a different kind of stuff.
A rapid increase in slum homes directly implies an immediate rise in young adolescents dwelling in those areas. In most cases, these teenagers are with no doubt truants due to school fees issues. Others may be young parents, those who just made their own decision to run away from their homes due to struggles at home, or even parents’ loss. This group needs more than only financial assistance to make the right decisions and back up on their feet, living an everyday life out of stress, confusion, and even guilt. In the long run, they are the same lot that is most likely to end, causing immorality and engaging in drug peddling and abuse (Purewal, Rebecca, et al., 294). Having deliberated with community leadership, it is clear that adolescents may cause havoc in society if not taken care of. Moreover, as such, they need help. Hardship combined with lack of education and free time, especially among the young adults living in slums, has been connected with an extreme rise in anti-social functions, substance abuse, rise in insecurity, and unhealthy living standards.
Our project aims to bring change to all these shortcomings and creating a conducive environment for these young people. We hope to support all these young people in numerous ways to see that they achieve their initial life ambitions. We have several project proposals that could be used to realize this. We aim to organize works to teach life skills to these young people on how to lead their life and probably keep to the right side of the law. We have also derived schemes to help in boosting them financially. We hope to have those out of school with this financial support due to school fees issues sorted and back to school. With these, we will cut down the vast number of school dropouts being experienced at the moment.
Organizing recreational activities for these young people. On this, we want to come up with positive activities such as gaming and talent rehabilitation. These should keep these adolescents from participating in law-breaking practices such as drug and substance abuse and careless sexual practices and cut down on the crime rate while ensuring other dwellers’ security.
After this project is accomplished, we expect to sit as a team and carry out a comprehensive analysis of the outcome. We plan to carry out further surveys, and those interested in continuing with the program, especially mentoring workshops, in submitting their details together with a given facilitation charge, which will be issued upon registration.
Our team will check on those put on the program, how they are doing, if the funds allocated were sufficient, or there is a need to add more. All these are expected to be completed within the set period to ensure that no single project goes stalled. We have the project budget attached.
