Centre for Youth and Development leverages on the power of youth and technology to help children, youth and women living in deprivation to escape the cycle of poverty and fulfil their human potential.
We achieve this by implementing interventions across five Programme areas: Education, Health, WASH (Water Sanitation and Hygiene), Enterprise & Livelihoods and ICT for Development. We cooperate with key stakeholders across, Civil society, Government, private sector local leadership and communities to address the status quo by promoting innovation to bring about the lasting and sustainable change.
