This programme aims to empower teenage and young parents with vital cooking, nutrition and budgeting skills and connects isolated young mothers various backgrounds through food In response to Covid 19 we launched Food bytes, a virtual community forum supporting young mothers with home cooking and Community Cabinet Kitchen tool lending library. We stock kitchen essential tools such as blenders, peelers, pots, slow cookers and fun gadgets too, like juicers, pastry making tools, etc. Each appliance can be borrowed for 5 days, after which users must return it washed and cleaned. We then sterilize equipment. Community Cabinets lowers the barrier for consumers who want to eat healthier and cook at home more often by giving them low-cost access to otherwise expensive equipment and offers a solution to people living in crowded accommodation with no space to store equipment. It also prevents waste of purchasing a tool, using it once and abandoning it.

Water Warriors is a program that engages 45 children with low self-esteem in weekly swimming and kayaking sessions. These sessions are designed to help boost their confidence, enhance their physical fitness, and provide a supportive and encouraging environment for personal growth.

The program focuses on water-based activities like swimming and kayaking because these activities offer numerous benefits for children with low self-esteem.
