GAYAZA YOUTH CBO
Who We Are
Gayaza Youth Community-Based Organisation (CBO) is a registered, not-for-profit grassroots movement in Kyankwanzi District, Uganda. We were founded by a group of dedicated Women with one shared vision: to build healthier, empowered, and sustainable communities where no one is left behind.
We work with youth, women, and adolescents in rural communities, (ensuring they are competent enough to; live sustainable lives through healthy advocacy and economic empowerment, take action against climate change and climate injustice in their communities, and provide opportunities that uplift lives and break the cycle of poverty.) equipping them with knowledge, skills, and opportunities that uplift lives and break the cycle of poverty.
Why We Exist
In rural Uganda, many families face poverty due to unemployment and lack of knowledge, and life skills, limited access to health care, and the harsh impacts of climate change. Young people often drop out of school due to lack of resources, teenage pregnancies remain high, and women struggle to find economic opportunities.
We exist to bridge these gaps — empowering communities to rise above these challenges with dignity, opportunity, and hope.
