1. The life-changer scholarship 🤝

The life-changer is a scholarship programme that creates sustainable impact on a young person’s life. With your help, disadvantaged youths in Southern Africa get access to a six months technical and vocational education and training program (TVET) in one of the 9 Young Africa centres.
Besides offering vocational training we work with an integrated approach to youth development which includes life skills training, entrepreneurship and ICT training. Our innovative and unique model is recognized as a ‘Promising Practice’ in TVET by UNESCO-UNEVOC. Empower a youth now and help her/him to earn an income.
