The launch of our digital E-Learning platform

Young Africa and SERVE have come together to create the ‘Digital Vocational Education and Training for Young Africans’ project. This project will take place in 2023 and 2024. Young Africa and SERVE have been working together since 2008.

What will this project achieve?

The highlights of the ‘Digital Vocational Education and Training for Young Africans’ project are building the eLearning platform and developing a Graduate Toolbox.
This project will reach over 8000 students. It will help young people reach their potential to fight poverty.
With this platform, Young Africa and SERVE will uphold the right to education for vulnerable youth across Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Zambia and Namibia.
