Equipping young people with skills for life and work is the most impactful solution for youth employment in Africa.
We are Young Africa
Africa has the youngest population in the world, with more than 60% of the continent’s population under the age of 25.
We believe in the transformative power of young people and in the huge potential of Africa. That is why we are determined to address this issue by equipping young people for work and a life of dignity through our local programs.
Our goal is to reach 500,000 youths by 2026.
