Youth for Africa Star

Youth For African Star

This NGO believes that Africa at large can be better once the youth part away from the talk shop and put into action what we can do into making our land one of the best liveable places.

From being the cradle of civilization, it is BETTER-OFF to be taught how to fish than to be given fish. We aim at promoting and capitalizing on the efforts of the likes of Apostle Dr. Ing. Kwadwo Safo, in the quest of scientific and technological development in redefining the image of Africans at large.

'African is not poor, rather Africans'. It is worth noting that being richer in natural endowments does not make you developed but the interplay of many factors.​ Many African countries have found the headway to development but, majority is still striving. 

As an organization of determined youth, we are focused to support the African Star as he heads the challenge for the entire continent to instill that "can do spirit" and the urge to create for ourselves what we need to make our lives better.​

By seeking to realize the Visions of the Africa Star, (YAStar) is indomitably charged to propagate the mission to giving hope and light to the development of the Africa people​.

Being a part of this noble organization brings out the passion in you into creating for ourselves a country and a continent we can be proud of for creating ourselves. We are not asking what Africa can do for us; rather, we are asking what we can do for Africa.
