Where we work
Youth Impact began in Botswana in 2014 with a single mission:
to connect young people to proven, life-changing information. Since then, we’ve scaled our evidence-based programming to five ‘Innovation Hub’ countries.


We have expanded our work globally by building Innovation Hubs in a select set of countries. We build innovation hubs where there is the strongest local demand and government commitment to rapidly scale evidence-based interventions, as well as the opportunity to build direct demonstration sites for ongoing experimentation and learning.
We currently have established or emerging hubs in Botswana, Namibia, South Africa, India, and the Philippines. Our Innovation Hub countries generally have a local registration of an affiliate organisation, active government engagement through a formal partnership, and ongoing experimentation and program optimization.
Alongside our hubs, we support partners in countries such as Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, and Uganda, offering technical support for running A/B tests and adapting proven interventions.
