YUVA Grand Port

Local participation connected to a national movement.

Grand Port is a district in eastern Mauritius, bringing together coastal communities, villages and growing residential areas around Mahébourg and the wider Grand Port region.

YUVA’s district structure brings participation closer to communities and gives young people opportunities to contribute within the places where they live.

Through YUVA Mauritius, young people, families, organisations and communities in Grand Port can connect with programmes, volunteering, partnerships and wider youth-development opportunities.

Think nationally. Act locally.
Communities become stronger when young people are given meaningful opportunities to participate, contribute and lead.
