REINHILD NIEBUHR

How do we help 200 million unemployed youth aged 18-24 across Africa develop the skills that they need to become productive and build purposeful lives?

This is the question that South African author, businesswoman and social entrepreneur Reinhild Niebuhr started asking more than two decades ago. Many years of working in the development sector and in the field of education, learning from other successful models and systems, have resulted in the establishment of the ACADEMY For A Young Africa – an innovative, distributed and blended learning institution, which has the aim to establish Satellite Campuses in partnership with Christian Church congregations, youth organisations, businesses and individuals in every single village across Africa.

The ACADEMY For A Young Africa (AFAYA) is ON FIRE!!!! for helping people across Africa adopt a mindset of lifelong learning and improving their knowledge and skills in an accessible and affordable manner, using state-of-the-art technology combined with study groups.

If you are passionate about education, YOU ARE WELCOME to partner with the ACADEMY For A Young Africa and with Young Africa EDUCATION to make your dream of owning and operating an education franchise come true!
