A civil society non-profit organisation mobilizing community-driven social interventions, sustainable WASH infrastructure, and youth vocational apprenticeships across rural Ghana.
Youth Empowerment Agency Foundation seeks stakeholder support to implement high-impact social intervention programs to curb societal discomfort, provide social relief to vulnerable persons, and equip rural youths with sustainable artisan skills and startup toolkits.
To see vulnerable persons in marginalized areas living with dignity in a clean and hygienic environment with access to potable water, and to empower young men and women towards completely alleviating poverty and curbing perilous illegal migration.
Headquartered opposite the Royal Osei Hotel in Suaman Dadieso (Western North Region), YEMA was established in direct response to the socio-economic challenges confronting rural farming districts in Ghana.
In many of these communities, thousands of enthusiastic youth face severe lack of vocational training institutions, driving many into hazardous illegal small-scale mining (galamsey) or vulnerable city migrations. Simultaneously, remote hamlets suffer recurrent waterborne diseases due to inadequate water infrastructure, and elderly citizens often endure poverty without social safety nets.
From digging our first community hand pump to certifying over 300 master apprentices, our field staff walks hand-in-hand with local chiefs, assembly members, and district health directorates.
