Improving the quality of life of children, youth, adolescents and women to reach their full potential through access to quality education and health; social and economic empowerment and advocacy interventions in a safe and supportive environment.
A society where all children, adolescents, youth and women are empowered with knowledge and skills to impact their lives and communities.
We uphold the highest standards of honesty and strong moral principles in all our actions. Integrity is the foundation of our work, ensuring that we remain trustworthy and reliable in the eyes of the youth and communities we serve. We commit to doing what is right, even when it is difficult, and to being transparent in our decision-making processes.
We believe in being accountable to our stakeholders, including the children, youth, donors, communities and partners. This means taking responsibility for our actions and decisions and being open about our operations and financial practices. Transparency fosters trust and allows us to build stronger, more effective relationships with those we serve and collaborate with.
Collaboration and mutual support are at the heart of our organization. We value the diverse skills and perspectives that each team member brings, and we work together to achieve our common goals. By fostering a culture of teamwork, we create an environment where everyone feels valued and empowered to contribute to our mission.
We are committed to creating an inclusive environment where all individuals, regardless of their background, feel respected and valued. We actively promote diversity and strive to ensure that our programs and initiatives are equitable and accessible to all youth. By embracing diversity, we enrich our organisation and enhance our ability to serve the community effectively.
We aim to empower youth and women by providing them with the tools, resources, and opportunities they need to succeed. Empowerment involves not only supporting their personal and professional development but also encouraging them to take an active role in their communities. We believe that empowered youth are the key to creating positive, lasting change in society.
NYAF played a critical role in ensuring education continued despite the challenges of the COVID-19 school closures. Supplying radios, pen drives, and exercise books must have made a huge difference in reaching students remotely, especially in areas with limited access to digital technology.
