IMPACT’s vision to coach youths and help them develop some leadership skills is very inspirational. Impact has handled the youth leadership training of our secondary and high school students of the Faith DISAS International College for about three years and I must say these children have gained some exceptional skills that have pivoted them to make better choices and go to better places.
I would recommend this team; IMPACT anytime and anywhere.
Thanks to Sylvie Ngompe and her team for the impact they are having in the lives of our youths.
