| AFRICA YOUTH AWARD
What is the Africa Youth Award?
The Africa Youth Award was officially launched in May 2008. The Award, divided into Silver and Gold sections, is a two-year discipleship and personal development programme for young people in Africa. The purpose of the Award is:
To raise the self-esteem of young men and women, giving them a sense of personal achievement and better preparation for life.
To recognise and acknowledge the achievements of young people who have made personal and spiritual development, through their contact with Watchmen International.
To disciple young people equipping them to disciple others upon completion of their courses, by helping to run courses for their peers.
To enable leaders to recognise young people’s contribution and involvement in church and community projects.
To complement existing Christian youth work.
