Our Brand Story
Program Highlights
For nearly a decade, The Youth Cafe (TYC) has worked to empower disadvantaged youth under the age of 35 years in the region to reach the last mile youth through complementary projects that advance youth-led approaches toward achieving sustainable development, social equity, innovative solutions, community resilience, and transformative change. We connect individual youth and community elements which is essential to driving a principled approach that galvanises personal ownership and builds resilient and sustainable communities. The Youth Cafe has made significant progress in its quest to achieve its goals through several partnerships and collaborations with public and private organisations. More than 75 projects from service contracts, consultancies, and accountable grants were completed over the years. They represent all 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and 22 countries in Africa.
