YEEF is involved in several community-based activities with the aim of educating youths and young farmers about financial literacy and encouraging a healthier, more sustainable business investment life. Our two-pronged approach includes the provision of literacy training and economic empowerment, through a variety of programs

Expanding Financial Inclusion

Financial education without financial inclusion is of limited value. That’s why strong financial literacy programs improve not just the knowledge of youths but their financial behavior and, when necessary, their access to financial products, services, and markets.

Youth Education

Primary, elementary, middle, high school and university students have benefited greatly from the exposure of YEEF's financial literacy educational programs based in schools, universities and the community.

Post secondary Access and Completion

We believe that financial education can be critical in helping young people at three critical stages of the postsecondary education process: access, completion and loan repayment.

Poverty Alleviation

In many developing and emerging economies, microfinance, mobile payment systems, branchless banking and wider access to remittances have opened up exciting opportunities for the poor to improve their lives.

Business and Investment Education

YEEF provides financial literacy training, mentorship, and business guidance to youth entrepreneurs. They are taught about business sustainability approaches and grant management through training

Job creation

Underemployment and the lack of employment opportunities for young people is considered as one of the most significant socio-economic and security challenges we face. The consequences for young people to build a prosperous future are far-reaching,
