The Yes, We Are Winning foundation team is very pleased with the success of the World Youth Skills Day empowerment programs. Two weeks to the World Youth Skills Day event which comes up every July 16th, the foundation enrolled interested youths into various skills acquisition programs where they are trained on acquiring relevant skills that would position them for employability and entrepreneurship.

This is part of activities to promote the sustainable Development Goals SDG 8 which is to promote sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all

One of the objectives of the foundation is to educate and empower individuals who are determined to excel in all life’s ramifications in spite of daunting political and social economic challenges. In doing this, we again partnered with various organizations who facilitated the trainings and also jointly provided scholarships to those desiring to further deepen their learning experiences.

Our facilitators and partners for the WYSD 2022 Skills acquisition program includes the following:
