Our Stories

  • Our beach day out yielded significant positive results. Participants reported improved moods, reduced stress levels, and increased feelings of connection. The unstructured play time fostered creativity and problem-solving skills. This type of activity is a valuable investment in the overall health and happiness of our youth.

  • Breaking down barriers, building bridges: The transition from incarceration to community life is incredibly challenging. We worked together with Human Hearts to build bridges, providing formerly incarcerated individuals with the coping skills they need to navigate this difficult journey. We're equipping them with the tools to manage stress, build healthy relationships, and find their place in society – empowering them to create a life filled with purpose and hope.

  • This program aims to foster holistic wellness for young children by developing their sensory awareness, emotional intelligence, and self-regulation skills through engaging activities focused on mindfulness, physical activity, healthy sleep habits, and nutrition education, all while promoting teamwork and a positive learning environment.

  • Fifty 34 Family finished 4th in the Futsal Tournament today and we hit a new milestone today because this is so much more than the final score. This tournament was a true reflection of the resilience, grit, and heart of the team. They weren’t just playing for a win on the court but they are fighting for something bigger, pushing through personal challenges, and supporting each other every step of the way. This journey has been as much about growth in life as it has been about growth as a team.

  • Facilitating the Awal Youth Leadership Camp is a privilege. We empower young people to cultivate holistic well-being across five key dimensions – Mental, Emotional, Physical, Social, and Spiritual, equipping them with the skills and self-awareness to lead balanced and fulfilling lives.
