WHO WE ARE ??

General Information

YOUTH EDUCTIONAL REVIVAL PROGRAME (YERP)

Youth Educational Revival Project (YERP) is found in Nyabikungu Parish, Rugando Sub-County, Rwampara County, Mbarara District .This Program was started as a result of greater need to help and support the youth who have totally failed to support themselves in Education. There has been an alarming increasing number of School dropouts year by year in Nyabikungu Parish in Particular, Rwampara and the surrounding communities in general. This was started with a motive of enabling the Youth to exhibit full use of human resources /skills and become agents of desirable change in the society rather than passive recipients in development. 

TARGET GROUP

For every academic year, statistics show that every 100 children who enroll in primary one under the Universal Primary Education Program, Only 39 of them manage to reach primary 5, of these, 19 are girls and 20 are boys. These pupils normally drop out of school with no help and hope to continue with their education. Some of these children have ended up on streets looking for petty jobs, others especially girls have been married off at an early age. 

Our target is mainly to engage this group of youth to become agents of change in the society rather than passive recipients in Development, through sensitization, support them further their education, skill training and development and to strengthen their awareness of their own potential power to control their lives.

GOAL 

The main goal of this project is to restore hope and a bright future of our youth by creating a wide and open opportunity to strengthen their awareness of their own potential power through small scale business and support them in Education to spawn and promote their lives.

VISION

To enable the youth not only to understand their rights in gaining access to needed services, but get them involved in providing needed services.
