USYA’s mission is to identify, engage and empower Young people to participate in improving their quality of life through integrated community based and participatory approaches to development. USYA was founded by Nandera Elizabeth upon realizing that many young people are left out in many developmental government and non-government programmes in her community. She set-out to be the vanguard for the young people to achieve their full potential.

Currently, we are working on a tree planting project that will oversee increase in tree cover in Eastern Uganda. We propose to plant at least 1,000,000 trees. This project is expected to start next year in January 2024. Details will follow. The organization is also overseeing implementation of climate and environment protection clubs in various communities and schools. These clubs are trained and given exposure by participating in different climate change summits at regional, and national level. The activities of the clubs include tree planting, managing waste and plastics in our communities, sensitizing the public on wetlands and swamps management, pollution, agroforestry etc.
We push and hold government to account for national and international commitments to development pathways that are both sustainable and just. This helps to create enabling environment for young people to better engage in government and inter-governmental decision mechanisms and supports young people to advocate for participation in state-led policy mechanisms
The organization runs different activities that are focused at getting the young generation to participate in matters that affect their communities. The intent is to actualize community empowerment and transformation socially, and economically
The organization exists to empower young people economically, socially and politically. Realizing that the youths are the key stakeholders of the future of African communities, we are intentional about sensitizing and educating them and coming up with programmes on societal issues as we create awareness on SGDs and providing platform for the young people to become key actors
