OUR TARGET BENEFICIARIES
Pre-Teenagers
EMMA AND YOUNG Defines pre-teenagers as children of 8-12 years old; We believe these are children who have not yet started going against rules and values taught by parents, teachers, communities and religions on avoiding risk-behavior. These children, who, in most cases will only be used or abused, are still vulnerable. Our communication resources and other programmes for this group teach life, and growing up as an adventure, with a destiny the child can influence, given the right guidance and making the right choices. The communications equips the pre-teenager with anticipation for changes of growing up, and warns of the danger of not listening to counsel and going against rules. It builds the invaluable preciousness of the family life and positive friendships. It prepares the child to cope with areas of vulnerability and establishes a supportive relationship with the parents, teachers and other responsible adults in the community where the child is growing in case the child needs counseling or referral for other support.
Programmes for Teenagers

It gives them a chance to eventually choose the best, the communications focuses on freedom, self-esteem, communication, self actualization, love, sex, romance without regret, family life, AIDS, practical friendships, dating for marriage, and Christianity. It provides a forum for discussing with the youth issues that they identify as major sources of confusion between fun and risk, as far as relationships and growing up are concerned.
