“Women Can Too”

‘‘Going through the experiences of the NYAA programme helped me
discover who I am and what I was most passionate about. In many
ways, the primer set me on my path to being an environmentalist.”

“I am thankful to NYAA for providing me with the
valuable platform and resources to pursue the
social causes close to my heart and give back to
the community. NYAA is truly transformative as it
constantly pushes me to step out of my comfort zone.
This allows me to grow as a person and realise that I
am stronger than whom I think I am.

NYAA taught me that through grit, resilience, tenacity,
and teamwork with like-minded youths, we could
make a positive difference in many people’s lives and
build a better future for the next generation.

Thank you, NYAA, for being such an important part of
my life.”
