Story of change
Ashley Gwatida
This is where we celebrate the lives of our students. Each story that we share here reveals a journey, a transformation, and, with it, a new beginning. Youth in sub-Saharan Africa are stepping forward with their dreams, shaping their lives, and impacting their communities in powerful ways. Young Africa equips disadvantaged youth across Southern Africa with practical, life-changing vocational skills. Through training, mentorship, and holistic development, we empower young people to break the cycle of poverty and become self-reliant. With operations in multiple African countries, Young Africa is creating lasting impact, one skill at a time.
These stories are living proof: when we invest in young people, we’re investing in a brighter, more resilient future for all.
