YES Friends aims to increase the financial, material, technical and moral support to the youth in Africa to enable them access quality and equitable education that will empower them to make real differences in their lives and for the subsequent generation.
YES Project is very interesting in that YES Friends actively participate in youth support challenges as they participate in educational tours and other voluntary development services in Africa.
YES Friends travel in person or vicariously and thus get to know and understand various cultures and traditions in Africa.
During their educational tours, they learn about life and culture of other youth and in many instances, this results in making friendly bonds further promoting international friendship.
YES Friends share knowledge, ideas and experiences and promote international scouting with a particular focus on building friendships with the youth in countries in sub-Saharan Africa region. Sustained youth 2 youth-friendship often lead to financial, material, technical or moral support and future exchange visits to each others country. This relationship also provides a sustainable and powerful infrastructure to promote policy and strategies for further youths support.
YES Friends are a wealthy in the support spirit and they take active responsibility to support the orphan youths in crisis across country, community or religion divide to beat the global AIDS emergency and extreme poverty. Their desire is also to participate in making HIV/AIDS pandemic and extreme poverty history in Africa.
YES Friends actively participate in resolving the social problems affecting Africa and especially extend the brotherly hand of friendship.
By leveraging the communication power of the internet, YES Friends communicate far, wide and deeply with each other. They exchange friendly letters using the internet, e-mails, radios, letters and publications to touch the lives of the supported youth. Many online friendships are made and maintained in this manner. Where necessary, YES assists with the language translation.
Through sustained friendship, YES Friends often surprise the supported youths with e-mail messages, cards, education support offers, adoption or graphic gifts.YES Project is therefore a historic and good opportunity for all YES Friends to use their greatness, wealth and influence in their day to day life to help the needy supported youths in Africa.
