“You can readily identify the girls affiliated with Nor Luyce. They exhibit better preparedness, active engagement in discussions, and a willingness to express their thoughts openly. When tasked with creating a PowerPoint presentation, the entire group felt a sense of panic, unsure of how to proceed. In contrast, the Nor Luyce participants approached the task with self-assuredness and clarity. This notable contrast in confidence and approach highlights the sustainable and empowering ethos instilled by Nor Luyce.”

Community
Anti-Bullying Program in Schools
After years of interacting with the mentees and mentors, we realized that bullying is a huge issue and so researched and created ways of successfully addressing bullying. We started to train the mentees and mentors and over time we have done many trainings with public schools. Currently we equip and encourage our mentees and mentors to educate others on bullying.
