We are already in the district and have formed youth groups.However 100 of youth members are expected to be trained in this project.The sustainability will be ensured through regular follow ups on the social media and connecting to more capacity building hubs.

As it seems, the targeted audience of this project is residing in the remote areas, with least level of awareness. It will really be a tough job to instill such program through the people with comparatively hostile behaviors.
