Building Change, One Youth at a Time
A Future Rooted in Purpose
Welcome to Y.E.S. Africa Foundation — the home of bold ideas, big dreams, and unstoppable young people.
We believe youths aren’t just the leaders of tomorrow — you are the movers, builders, and changemakers of today. That’s why we exist: to fuel your journey with education, mentorship, entrepreneurship, and hands-on skills that actually open doors.
This isn’t just a foundation — it’s a movement. A space where passion meets purpose, where creativity sparks innovation, and where African youth rise together to shape a future we can all be proud of.
Youth-Centred Approach
Everything we do is designed by and for young people. We listen, we engage, and we build programs that reflect the real needs of African youth.
Innovation-Driven Solutions
We don’t recycle old methods — we create fresh, practical, and innovative ways to empower youth in education, entrepreneurship, and leadership.
Impact You Can See
Our results speak louder than words — thousands of youths empowered, trained, and mentored across multiple communities in Africa.
Community of Support
With mentors, volunteers, and partners working hand in hand, we provide a strong network that helps young people rise and thrive together.
Building Youth Potential Across Sectors
Education & Research
We equip young people with access to quality education, scholarships, digital literacy, and mentorship. By bridging the knowledge gap, we prepare the next generation of innovators, leaders, and problem-solvers to thrive in a fast-changing world.
Our goal is to create equal opportunities for learning, ensuring that no youth is left behind due to socio-economic limitations.
Entrepreneurship & Business
We believe in the power of enterprise to change lives. Through startup incubation, business training, and financial literacy programmes, we help young entrepreneurs transform ideas into thriving businesses that create jobs and drive economic growth.
By connecting youths with mentors and investors, we nurture bold thinkers who will shape Africa’s economic future.
Technology & Innovation
Technology is the backbone of the future, and we ensure young people are not left behind. From coding bootcamps to Web3 and AI awareness, we empower youths to harness innovation, solve problems creatively, and compete globally in the digital economy.
We encourage innovation challenges and hackathons that spark creativity and position African youths as global contributors in tech.
Creative Arts & Media
Africa’s creativity is unmatched, and we channel that energy into opportunities for the youth. Whether in music, film, design, or digital media, we provide platforms, training, and exposure for young creatives to tell their stories and showcase their talent.
By investing in arts and media, we empower youths to transform passion into sustainable careers while amplifying Africa’s voice on the global stage.
Health & Wellbeing
A strong mind and body are essential for a thriving generation. We support health awareness, mental wellbeing initiatives, and career opportunities in healthcare, ensuring young people are fit, confident, and capable of building the Africa of tomorrow.
From community outreach programmes to skills training in health-related fields, we are committed to creating healthier societies.
