Young Africa International

We offer an innovative, high impact solution to youth unemployment. Africa has the largest population of young people in the world. Half of them are under thirty five years old of which two thirds don’t have a fixed job. We are determined to change that. Young Africa is a confederation of independently and locally registered affiliated NGOs. Each affiliate runs training centres, youth (self-) employment programmes and community activities. Currently, we have nine training centres in five countries in Southern Africa. Young Africa International is the founder of the confederation. It safeguards the vision, supports the work of the affiliates and seeks to expand our reach. We work with two innovations in skills training: the franchise model and our integral approach to youth development.
