We are guided by the principles of: Peer-to-peer learning, dialogue and peaceful engagement.

Africa and Asia stand as vibrant hubs of youthful energy, boasting youth demographics exceeding 50%. Yet, despite this demographic richness, meaningful youth engagement remains vague, often limited to ceremonial gestures. Recognizing the urgent need for proactive youth involvement, the Africa Asia Youth Foundation AAYFO emerges as a beacon of change, driven by and for young people.

AAYFO is committed to creating inclusive spaces where young voices are not just heard but valued. Through dynamic forums like conferences, town halls, summits, and awards, we provide platforms for youth-led dialogue, co-creation, and celebration of achievements. Our mission is clear to identify, nurture, and celebrate young change-makers who are driving positive impacts in their communities and beyond, ultimately driving progress towards the global goals outlined in Agenda 2030.

With a steadfast commitment to principles of peer-to-peer learning, dialogue, and peaceful engagement, AAYFO aims to empower a new generation of leaders who will shape a more equitable and sustainable world.
