Every young person deserves to feel seen, heard, and valued. In the last three years, through YANA (You Are Not Alone), we are breaking the silence around mental health, one conversation at a time.

- We are giving young people the courage to speak up.
- We are helping them discover their worth and strength.
- We are creating ambassadors of hope, young change-makers who will carry the message that no one should ever walk alone.

The stories, the smiles, the breakthroughs, and the tears remind us of this truth: healing is possible, growth is possible, and change is happening right here, right now.

Together, we are building a generation that is resilient, self-aware, and unafraid to rise. Because with YANA, no one is ever truly alone.

It's been a tough journey but we are ever grateful to those who support us along the way

What You Focus On Becomes Your Reality
Your brain is like a filter, it highlights what you believe and tunes out the rest. When you focus on fear, you see limits. When you focus on hope, you see possibilities. Choose wisely, because your thoughts shape your world.
