“Once completed, it will offer a safe and inspiring space for young people to explore their talents, engage in educational and cultural programmes, and build leadership skills,” she said.
She said that the centre will host workshops, art and music classes, mentorship initiatives, and community events, all aimed at empowering youth and providing care for seniors.
