What's it about?
Muslim girls aged 10–16 often feel isolated and lack confidence, especially around body image and leadership. Surveys by Youth-SHINE revealed that many feel “fat,” “skinny,” or “ugly,” and struggle to engage in community activities. To address this, Youth-SHINE developed play-based programs using LEGO to build self-esteem, confidence, and leadership skills in a fun and inclusive way.
