Projects
At YAO (Youth Activists Organisation), we run a wide range of projects aimed at empowering youth and transforming communities. Most of our projects are location-based, tied to specific areas where local teams manage and implement the activities.
However, some projects are organisation-wide and not tied to any single location. These standalone projects serve a broader purpose, often supporting the entire YAO network or addressing needs for more than one location.
Explore our current projects to see how we’re creating impact – one location at a time, and sometimes, beyond one location.
