About Us

We believe that everyone can be a driving transformative change and can achieve their full potential.

Our Focus

We believe youth employment is key to unlocking prosperity. Accelerating economic growth through inclusive interventions that drive productivity and innovation is critical.

Nigeria’s youth population is growing and will increasingly become the nation’s workforce. It is estimated that by 2030, Africa will be home to the world’s largest workforce, with 375 million young people entering the labour market.

With the right skills, young people will improve their lives and the lives of their communities.

In Calabar, the youngest, fastest-growing skill is beee-keeping. Our focus in Calabar is supporting youth and women in their pathways through education and on to meaningful work.
