About Youth Up Foundation

Youth Up Foundation (YUF) is a community-based, Refugee youth-led non-profit organization dedicated to empowering refugee and host community children, youth, and vulnerable families in both urban and rural settings in Uganda. The organization was founded in response to the growing socio-economic and protection challenges affecting displaced populations and marginalized host communities, including youth unemployment, limited access to quality education, skills gaps, poverty, psychosocial distress, and Gender-Based Violence (GBV). Operating in a context shaped by displacement, conflict, and economic hardship, YUF recognizes that young people and children are among the most affected by instability and lack of opportunity. These realities inspired the creation of an organization that places youth and communities at the center of change. YUF adopts a rights-based, inclusive, and participatory approach that ensures no individual is left behind regardless of nationality, gender, religion, disability, or social status. YUF works closely with local leaders, community structures, training institutions, and partner organizations to design and implement practical, sustainable, and people-centered solutions. Its programs respond not only to immediate needs but also to long-term development priorities, enabling beneficiaries to move from dependency to dignity and self-reliance. Through its integrated programming model, YUF contributes to social cohesion, peaceful coexistence, and resilience among refugee and host communities.

Empower youth and children through education, skills training, psychosocial support, and livelihoods to overcome vulnerability, achieve self-reliance, and contribute to community development.
Advance inclusive youth empowerment by equipping vulnerable refugee and host youth with skills, education, and pathways to decent work, fostering resilience, social cohesion, and sustainable change.
