ABOUT YUVA ACADEMY

YUVA Academy is an MQA-registered Training Institution that seeks to transform Mauritius by developing a robust network of young leaders who will work together to address Mauritius’ most significant challenges, achieve extraordinary social impact, and accelerate the country’s growth trajectory.

Mauritius’ greatest need is ethical and entrepreneurial leadership. Too often, we only invest in addressing the symptoms of poor leadership in Mauritius: we give blankets, food, and medicine to those impacted by poverty, or we cannot create enough jobs for our young people. But these efforts will never stop unless we develop leaders who prevent adopting good governance, entrepreneurs who create jobs, and innovators that develop lasting solutions to the root causes of Mauritius’ problems. We aim to develop the future Nelson Mandela, the next Wangari Maathai, and the Mauritian Bill Gates.
