Africa has the largest population of young people in the world. Half of them are under thirty five years old, of which two thirds do not have permanent employment. We are determined to change that. Young Africa offers integrated skills training for employability and entrepreneurship. Training youth is our innovative and high impact solution to youth unemployment across Southern Africa.

At IMC Weekendschool we introduce youngsters (aged 10-14) from underprivileged neighborhoods to a wide variety of inspiring professionals.

We provide our students with a network, while they build the confidence to excel at who they want to be.

The UAF has been providing support to refugee students and professionals in their studies and in finding suitable employment on the Dutch labour market since 1948. We are convinced that anyone who can use their knowledge can make a meaningful contribution to society. We advise refugees based on our knowledge and experience, and build bridges between refugees, educational institutions, (local) governments and employers.
