Measured. Verified. Shared.

Our Impact,
In Numbers
and In Lives.

We don't just inspire young Africans — we equip them with skills, mentorship, and real pathways to opportunity. Here is the evidence of what that has produced since 2012.

Our Methodology

How We Measure Impact

Every YELF programme follows a consistent impact framework — from the problem we address to the long-term change we create.

Step 1

Problem

We define the specific youth-development challenge a programme addresses.

Step 2

Intervention

We design and deliver training, mentorship, or placement activities.

Step 3

Outputs

We measure activities delivered — participants, sessions, hours, placements.

Step 4

Outcomes

We track changes for participants — skills gained, jobs secured, businesses started.

Step 5

Long-term Impact

We assess community-level change over time through follow-up and stories.

Geographic Reach

Rooted in Ghana, Built for Africa

YELF Africa currently delivers programmes across multiple regions of Ghana, with a structure designed to scale across the continent. We use structured country, region, and city fields so our opportunity ecosystem can grow Africa-wide.
