Youth & Women Empowerment
We believe that gender equality and the realization of Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) are fundamental to achieving inclusive and sustainable development.
Our work focuses on empowering women, girls, and marginalized groups to live with dignity, make informed decisions about their health, and fully participate in social, economic, and political life.
Our Approach
Our empowerment programs aim to unlock the potential of youth and women as drivers of social transformation, peace, and economic growth.
We provide platforms that build confidence, enhance participation, and strengthen leadership at all levels.
Our initiatives include:
Entrepreneurship and vocational training to promote self-reliance and economic inclusion
Leadership and mentorship programs that prepare youth and women for community and civic engagement
Advocacy campaigns promoting gender equality, human rights, and youth participation in governance
Capacity building workshops to develop practical and digital skills for employability
Building Inclusive Communities
We believe that empowered youth and women are essential agents of peace and resilience.
By fostering innovation, confidence, and collaboration, YAPAD helps communities overcome barriers of inequality and dependency, creating spaces where everyone can contribute to development and decision-making.
Our empowerment programs not only improve livelihoods but also inspire active citizenship, social inclusion, and community ownership.
Our Vision
YAPAD envisions a society where youth and women lead with confidence, participate fully in decision-making, and contribute to building peaceful, equitable, and prosperous communities across the Horn of Africa.
