Meet Tyrian, a trailblazer from Malaysia who’s rewriting the rules of opportunity for young people. 🌏 While juggling her final year of university in 2018, she co-founded an NGO to empower underprivileged urban youth through education and skill-building programs. Think 'The Hunger Games' meets real-life mentorship—but with way more hope! 💪
Her initiative, though short-lived due to the COVID-19 pandemic, became a blueprint for change. 🛠️ 'Seeing peers transform from hesitant learners to confident job-seekers was magic,' Tyrian shared. The NGO’s closure didn’t dim her drive—it fueled her belief in scalable solutions for youth unemployment and education gaps.
Today, Tyrian’s advocating for digital platforms to connect mentors globally with Malaysian youth. 🚀 'Skills like coding or financial literacy aren’t just résumé fillers—they’re lifelines,' she says. With 60% of Malaysia’s population under 35, her work taps into a generation eager to thrive. 📈
Could her model inspire other ASEAN nations? 🌏💡 Tyrian’s story proves that even small sparks can ignite big change. 🔥
