Youth Action Africa is a global network of youth joining efforts to promote technological advancement in Africa as a means to alleviate poverty through carefully crafted education initiatives that target specific areas of interest, benefits and opportunities in a given community. Mission Statement Here at Youth Action Africa, we seek to alleviate poverty and improve health conditions through education and improved access to information and resources. To do so, Youth Action Africa has created a platform to transform social innovative ideas into projects to be implemented in target areas. Education, along with access to information, resources and opportunities are key determinants of the social, economic and political status of individuals, both in their community and, on a larger scale, in their nation. Short term Goal Youth Action Africa will, initially, focus primarily on gaining access to target regions. We will also concentrate on developing, through grass-roots movements, chapters in colleges and universities across America in order to expand the reach of our vision and message. Youth Action Africa will then focus on nurturing and mentoring youths to create a think tank for social innovative ideas to be implemented in target communities to create impact.
