A strong foundation for empowering the Youth
Our Journey
How it all started
Makele Youth Development Journey ( MYDJ), began with a simple vision to empower young people with practical skills , creativity and the confidence to shape their own future.
It was founded in response to the growing need for hands-on learning opportunities that connect education with real-life challenges in communities.
From its early stages, the initiative focused on technical skills training, environmental innovation and youth entrepreneurship using locally available resources to inspire practical problem-solving.
Overtime, it has grown into a platform where young people come together to learn, create and develop solutions that address both economic and environmental challenges.
Today Makele Youth Development Journey continues to build a generation of innovative and responsible youth who are committed to transforming their communities through skills, teamwork and sustainable development.
