DIMAPUR, JANUARY 26 (MExN): Dimapur-based non-profit organization Can Youth is set to launch its Community First Responder Training Program on January 27 at 10:30 am at Rongmei Customary Court, Chungaizaeng. The initiative, organized in collaboration with the Nagaland State Disaster Management Authority (NSDMA), aims to empower community members with essential lifesaving skills and engage youth in disaster risk reduction activities.
Can Youth, established in 2010, focuses on supporting underprivileged and disadvantaged sections of society through five thematic areas: Health, Education, Child Rights, Active Citizenship, and Skill Building & Livelihood.
