Who we are

Built by youth. Driven by community.

South Sudan's young population holds real potential, but poverty, interrupted education, climate shocks and limited training hold many back. YEAH Organization (Youth for Education, Agriculture and Health) is an independent non-profit established in South Sudan to turn those challenges into practical, local solutions.

We don't deliver short-term, one-off aid. We live and work alongside the communities we serve — training young people, supporting smallholder farmers, and helping schools rebuild — so the work outlasts any single project.

Community-based

We work alongside local leaders and residents to shape each programme.

Eight focus areas

From schools and farms to clinics and peace dialogues — see our full programme list.

Small team, direct contact

Reach us directly — no call centre, no layers of bureaucracy.

Who we serve

Who our programmes are for.

Our programmes prioritise the most vulnerable and marginalised groups in our region — out-of-school and displaced young people seeking practical skills, smallholder farmers facing climate instability, women and girls working toward financial independence, and refugees, returnees and IDPs recovering from crisis.
