About Us
Rwanda Youth in Action Organization (RYAO) is a youth-led nonprofit founded in 2014, working to empower young people to become the architects of their own future.
Who We Are
A Movement of Youth, For Youth.
Officially registered in 2016, RYAO was built on a simple premise: young people hold the key to solving their communities' biggest challenges. By providing them with education, vocational skills, and platforms for advocacy, we aren't just changing individual lives; we are transforming entire communities.
Today, we operate across multiple districts in Rwanda, continuously expanding our reach and deepening our impact across health, education, climate action, and peacebuilding.
Our Vision
A future where all young people have equal opportunities to participate, thrive, and meaningfully lead change in their societies.
Our Mission
To empower youth through specialized entrepreneurship training, health education, and active community engagement programs that deliver tangible results.
