New Beginnings Youth Foundation (NBYF): Empowering the Future
In a world where youth account for over 16% of the global population—nearly 60% of Africa’s population being under the age of 25 (World Bank, 2023)—the need for targeted investment in this dynamic demographic has never been more pressing. West Africa, with its burgeoning youth population, faces unique challenges, including poverty, lack of education, unemployment, and trauma. At New Beginnings Youth Foundation (NBYF), we are committed to bridging these gaps by implementing transformative programs tailored to the needs of young individuals.

Inspiring Long-Term Change
