Canaan Project
People: Supporting young people to fulfil their potential
Canaan Project would like to run day and residential trips and activities for young women from the Isle of Dogs that help them learn new skills, build confidence and better their community.
About this cause
Canaan Project provides high-quality youth provision to 11- to 19-year-old young women in Tower Hamlets from a variety of backgrounds with the aim of seeing them flourish, have broadened horizons and raised aspirations. We do this by offering a range of activities, experiences and support through drop-in sessions, projects and workshops, mentoring and excursions.
How this cause brings people in the community together
We wish to make sure all young women have opportunities to flourish. We believe that by creating safe spaces in schools and within the community, we can achieve our vision of seeing young women who are 'comfortable in their own skin, in their communities and in the wider world'. Our work offers girls the chance to try new things, make friends, and access support for any issues they're facing.
