The larger purpose is to recognize, support and further develop ideas that are driven by the youths and to allow them to see the pathway of their learning and entrepreneurship journeys. Project Objective 4: Documenting impact created through the PPR Digital Skills Development Programme, its qualitative value, and continuous mentorship. By providing underprivileged youth with an opportunity to harness new-age skills and upskilling to assemble a set of employable capabilities, the youths will be able to become self-sustaining individuals with the capacity to support their families. The classes were conducted through a blended-learning approach where learners view pre-recorded lessons prior to attending tutorials, and then attend classes to practice newly learned knowledge/skills.

Digital skills and entrepreneurial exposure were also instilled along with digital literacy certificates, complimentary tables, and micro-funding.
