Fitrah is a non-profit social enterprise that empowers young adults aging out of the foster-care system or who are court-involved, homeless, or out of school. We pay our youth to run and manage the Fitrah online business, and in the process give them the confidence and skills needed to envision and enact positive goals for a successful future. Combining real-world experience and increasing responsibility in a work environment while imposing high expectations and one-on-one mentoring is a recipe for success. Kids are then able to break through barriers they thought were impenetrable and come out the other side as contributing members of our community with a bright future.
We also provide them with mentorship in independent living and financial literacy skills.
