Winner Statement
Vulnerability, especially for youth, is a common feature in Africa’s societies. Though the continent continues to make social and economic progress, that progress has not trickled down to all demographics. Youth are more affected by unemployment, political instability and other insufficiencies. For youth at risk, such as those in orphanages, who lack critical societal constructs such as family, the importance of skills and knowledge to build their resilience cannot be understated. Therefore, JA undertakes skills and work-readiness development programs that bolsters the abilities of young people to be self-sustaining
