Youth-led action across Mauritius.
YUVA Mauritius works with children, young people, families, communities and partners to advance education, health, empowerment and employment across the country.
Development works better when young people help shape it.
YUVA Mauritius is a youth-led non-governmental organisation headquartered in Port Louis and working with communities across Mauritius.
Our work focuses on the sustained well-being of children and young people, particularly where access to education, opportunity, health, employment or meaningful participation is limited.
We work alongside families, communities, volunteers, businesses, institutions and public bodies to create practical responses to social challenges while ensuring that young people are participants in change rather than simply its recipients.
YUVA Mauritius combines youth participation, community action, practical programmes and partnerships to strengthen opportunity and dignity.
Four connected areas of action.
YUVA’s programmes are organised around four outcomes that influence the opportunities available to children and young people.
Local participation with national purpose.
Across the nine districts of Mauritius.
YUVA’s Mauritius structure has historically organised youth participation and community activity across all nine districts of the island.

Young people are participants, not spectators.
YUVA was established around the idea that young people should have meaningful opportunities to participate in the development of their own communities.
Participation can take many forms: volunteering, community service, programme delivery, leadership, advocacy, social innovation, entrepreneurship and collaboration.
Registered in Mauritius. Governed through formal structures.
