We inspire them to reach their potential and contribute positively to the community in which they live.

Preparing young people for  Education & Entrepreneurship

Help At Risk Youth
No one has ever become poor by giving

Empower Youth International have worked with vulnerable youth and communities for eight years. Through our programmes we remain committed toward making a lasting and positive impact on their lives. We need your help to curve the devastating effects that child abuse, neglect, exploitation and other forms of violence against children have on their  survival, development and participation in society.  At  EYI, we address specific issues such as child abuse,  violence and corporal punishment in schools. Help us make a difference by volunteering to mentor youth enrolled in our programmes.
