Secretary Message
Greetings and a warm welcome to the Katakhali Empowerment & Youth Association’s online home.
Since our founding in 2006, our purpose has been clear: to ignite the potential within every child and young adult in our community. We believe that empowering our youth is not just about giving them tools, but about giving them a voice, a sense of confidence, and the belief that they can shape their own destiny.
As Secretary, I have the privilege of witnessing firsthand the transformative power of our programs—the young minds learning new skills, the friendships being built, and the sense of hope that fills our centers.
Our journey is far from over. We are constantly seeking new ways to grow and expand our reach. We invite you to join us in this vital mission. Your support is crucial in helping us continue to build a future where every young person has the opportunity to succeed.
