A group of young children is seated on small stools outdoors in an alleyway, attentively engaged with an adult woman standing nearby who appears to be teaching or talking to them. The scene is surrounded by various elements such as potted plants, a water cooler, parked motorcycles, and an arrangement of colorful items in the background. The children are wearing matching uniforms with white shirts and dark overalls.

Thanks to this NGO, I now have a sustainable income and confidence.

A group of young people are working in a modern office setting with computers. The focus is on a man wearing a black Adidas cap and a black Vans T-shirt, seated on a black and white chair. Others in the background also work on computers, with some standing and one holding a smartphone.
