What social problem are you solving with your venture / initiative?

( max 120 words) 

As I reside in rural area, I discover low self awarness of local people on the importance of self
development. Furthermore, The young local people find it hard to identify their dream and build the
character since they lack of such platform to help them and few role model to get inspired. No to
mention, a number of local people end up jobless after graduating from universitysince they are less
competitive in workforce. Therefore their contribution in developing the city is minimum. My friends
and I realise the ability to develop soft skill e.g leadership, public speaking and language are
important. Therefore, We started giving softskill trainning to young local people with hope those help
them grow better.
