I know I am making a difference – and that’s an amazing feeling!” – a MATES mentor “This programme offers the girls additional support in areas like anxiety, self-esteem, and confidence, while also providing them with an outlet to cope with daily challenges they may face." – a SWiS worker at the Family Service Centre
