Lutan Fyah Launches a Youth Foundation
Angered by the violence that is taking over inner city communities and the proliferation of sexual violence against young women, Lutan Fyah has started a Youth Upliftment Foundation (YUF) which he hopes can socially re-engineer the negative attitudes and behaviours of young at-risk children.
“We have to educate youths to think constructively and creatively, whilst promoting positive social interaction to bring about change in attitudes and behaviours among self and others. I want to engage other like-minded members of society to join with me to become proactive mentors to inspire and spiritually uplift these children,” he said. Other objectives of the foundation include: Helping youths to identify their weaknesses and realize their full potential and see themselves as nation builders; providing a platform that is aimed at combating some of the social issues and reshaping some of the dramatic forces inflicted upon youths on a regular basis. The artist also hopes his organisation will help to maintain social solidarity and solution-oriented support among youths in communities and schools. “At the moment, I am chairman, president, vice president, general secretary and a financial controller. I am going to need a body of people to help me meet with these objectives,” he said.
