Routebeschrijving Website

Young Africa empowers youth with skills training entrepreneurship and employability across Africa.

Young Africa (YA) is a confederation of local NGOs, implementing youth empowerment programmes in 9 skills centres in Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Namibia, Zambia and Botswana. The founding foundation of YA, Young Africa International, is located in The Netherlands. YA has educated over 40,000 young people towards employability and entrepreneurship. YA sets up financial self-sustainable skills centres in which local entrepreneurs train youths in professional skills. Entrepreneurship training, life skills & digital literacy are fully integrated into the curriculum. Within three months after graduation, 83% of the graduates is economically active.

Give someone a fish, feed them for a day. Teach them to fish, and they feed themselves for life—and teach others. That is the ripple effect we strive for every day.

Investing in young people today means they have 30 or 40 years ahead of them to contribute to their families and society. That is the kind of long-term return we are working toward at Young Africa.

A good idea needs capital to grow. Beyond skills training, providing access to small loans for young entrepreneurs is an innovative way to create local opportunities. When hardworking people get the support they need, entire communities benefit.

A thriving economy requires a diverse workforce, yet technical trades are often overlooked. Many young people possess valuable talents that shine in technical fields. Training mechanics, technicians, welders, and builders creates lasting opportunities that are essential for the infrastructure of developing economies. We are committed to closing the skills gap through accessible vocational education.

Career paths for young people in Africa are rarely a straight line. Many transition between wage employment, self-employment, and starting their own businesses. That’s why we don't just train youth for existing jobs—we equip them with tools to create sustainable livelihoods.

26/10/2026

Vocational training centres shouldn't rely solely on short-term project funding to keep their doors open. By embedding private businesses right inside our training centres, our franchise model helps sustain activities for the long haul while building local economic resilience.

23/10/2026

Vocational education must adapt. We can no longer focus only on the jobs of today; we must anticipate the sectors of tomorrow. From solar installations to climate-smart agriculture, we are equipping our youth with the tools they need to build resilient livelihoods in a rapidly evolving world.

21/10/2026

Before we teach a single class, we start by listening. We conduct deep market assessments, engaging with local businesses, the private sector, government, and the youth themselves. By identifying exactly which skills are missing and in demand locally, we ensure that the economy surrounding the learner drives what is taught.

19/10/2026

A certificate is not enough to guarantee success. That is why we treat training as just one part of a wider support ecosystem. By combining technical skills with entrepreneurship development, life skills, mentorship, and post-training support like startup kits, we help young people turn their knowledge into sustainable income.

16/10/2026

Real change requires strong partnerships!
To ensure our green skills training aligns with national priorities, we collaborated closely with the Environmental Management Agency and the Climate Change Management Department.

Now, the valuable lessons learned from our pilot phase in Zimbabwe are being replicated by Young Africa Moçambique
