Who we are
We are a rural youth-led organisation working in Southern Africa. We exist to improve the way public institutions understand and act on rural youth realities. Using existing constitutional spaces, we make rural youth visible in decisions that shape disasters, natural resources, and healthcare - sectors where institutional gaps translate quickly into real risks for rural families.
Our Vision
A Southern Africa where rural youth shape public decisions, and public services work as planned.
Our Mission
Because rural youth are locked out of policy spaces, we connect them with public institutions to influence decisions that affect their environment, livelihoods, and health.
