Innovative Approach

Young Africa runs currently three vibrant skills training centres. The method of managing these centres is considered innovative and replicable: each department at the project is franchised to a local business. The teacher/entrepreneur trains students in a skill and incorporates them into the production process. Students get hands-on education, the enterpreneur makes profit and contributes part of that to YA. Thus the franchise concept has the potential to make each project self-sustainable. Involving the community into the education of their youngsters is part of our integral approach to development. So is the variety of programmes we offer. Give a youngster the tools to live and s/he will choose not to die. Thanks to this holistic approach, our students make wiser choices in regard to HIV/AIDS and contribute purposefully to development of the world they live in. Our world.
