Zainab Ali: Youth Inspire CEO on the charity facing closure over funding shortfall
Published 2 weeks, 1 day ago
Description
A charity focused on helping Kiwi youth get ahead is at risk of closure after losing out on required funding.
Lower Hutt-based charity Youth Inspire missed out on $60,000 worth of funding for its driving school, which provides lessons and training for at-risk Kiwis looking to build up their skills.
CEO Zainab Ali says they're not sure why the Government isn't offering them the funding, and they've turned to crowdfunding to fill the gap.
"We got some feedback saying that they loved our proposal, but at this time, they had some questions around the budget - and that was pretty much it."
