How we work
In schools, a patron teacher supports student teams as they plan activities, organise other students and look after their projects. The work includes leadership training, menstrual health education, tree care and water filter maintenance.
Outside school, Omuto supports youth groups through YAP, offers practical learning through YoSkills, and works with football teams and young media creators.
