Every child deserves a fair start in life.
YUVA funds school fees, daily meals, healthcare and first jobs for vulnerable children and young people, working alongside their families and communities.
Four programmes, one goal: the well-being of every child.
We serve all children regardless of religion, race, ethnicity or gender, and the young people who run our programmes come from the communities they serve.
Education
School fees, uniforms, supplies and tutoring that keep children in class through to graduation.

CV writing, mock interviews and job connections that turn school-leavers into first-time earners.
Read more →Empowerment
Leadership and teamwork programmes that build confident young people and stronger communities.
Read more →Health
Healthy habits from an early age, and a bridge to care when young people need it.
