YAC Impact story on YECAN

In Gombe State, Nigeria, 150 young people are turning dreams into reality with the help of YandyTech Community through the Juntanza Fund supported by Comic Relief US. Through hands-on STEM workshops, climate education, mentorship, and entrepreneurship training, these youth are gaining the tools to innovate and lead change in their communities.

Mohammed Bayero Yayandi, Founder, YandyTech Community, recalls, “Receiving funding from the Juntanza Fund wasn’t just a support; it gave us the freedom to be creative and respond to our people’s real needs.”

This isn’t just training; it’s a movement of young changemakers stepping forward with confidence and bold ideas to build a better future. When youth are trusted and empowered, they don’t just make progress, they lead the way.
