YMO Trust’s mission is to help prevent child labour and empower young people to fulfil their potential through education, vocational training and life skills.
YMO Trust works to help alleviate child labour, where children are forced to work due to social and economic reasons. These children are exposed to situations that make them vulnerable to abuse, violence, slavery, forced and bonded labour, sexual exploitation, used in illicit activities, including drug trafficking and are often denied their rights to education, welfare and childhood.
We operate education academies that assist and support the educational needs of the children at risk of labour, teaches essential life skills and provides vocational training to improve chances of employment.
