Sustainable Transformation Of Youth Lives - STYL Inc
STYL is a cost-effective and evidence-based model designed to rehabilitate high-risk youth. Received nonprofit status in 2025.
Urban crime is one of the most urgent threats to safety and prosperity worldwide. In Africa and Latin America, homicide rates far exceed global norms. A small group of high-risk youth in specific neighborhoods commits most violence. The economic cost can reach 10% of national GDP.
STYL Inc, formerly a NEPI Inc., program, is a globally recognized, evidence-based rehabilitation model designed to reduce violence and crime among high-risk youth. Validated through a randomized controlled trial and a 10-year follow-up survey led by world-class researchers. It shows 20 - 50% reduction in crime and violence.
STYL provides an 8-week group cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) program paired with an Unconditional Cash Transfers (UCT) to reduce extreme poverty, violence, and crime, to create safer communities. STYL develop self-regulation, future planning, and non-criminal prosocial skills. It improve mental health, well-being, and happiness, that allow positive action to lead to lasting change.

From Risk to Resilience
Too many youth are caught in the cycles of violence and limited opportunity. Your contribution recruits highest-risk youth, fund 8-week group CBT and 1:1 counseling, provide $300 unconditional cash transfers, and reintegrate youth into their communities. Invest in Proven Change. This is more than prevention - its resilience in action. Where one young person choose a new path to change, the entire community grows stronger. The Time for Change Is Now.
