Self-worth is a powerful determinant of one's quality of life. It is the self-perception of one's right to achieve happiness and be given respect, of one's ability to understand and solve problems, and to triumph in the small and big challenges of life. LoveYourself believes that self-worth is key to building an empowered community. We exist to ignite in each one an active desire for a healthy and vibrant self-worth, especially among the youth and males who have sex with males (MSMs).Through awareness, education, counseling, fun social interactions, and activities that weave these elements into a unity, we take delight in spreading our message of the value of self-worth and the critical importance of loving oneself.Love Yourself Inc.
