About - Creative Youths Association

Our Mission

Empower vulnerable youth affected by displacement, stigmatization and inequality through holistic support combining health education, psychosocial care, creative expression, community engagement and economic opportunities.

Our Vision

A generation of qualified, confident and active young citizens leading positive change across Africa through creativity, resilience and solidarity, breaking cycles of poverty and exclusion.
