Our Project

The No Business as Usual Youth Empowerment Center (NBU-YEC) was a two-year project designed to equip young people in Greater Kumasi with essential employability and entrepreneurship skills. Implemented by SOS Children’s Villages Ghana and funded by SOS The Netherlands, the project directly trained 342 youth, including beneficiaries from SOS CV’s Alternative Care and Family Strengthening Program. Additionally, business networking events and outreach efforts engaged 1969 young people, fostering critical business connections and expanding opportunities.

At its core, NBU-YEC aimed to empower vulnerable-motivated youth aged 18-35, equipping them with job market-relevant skills. To ensure tailored support, participants were categorised into three (3) groups:
• Gamma – Tertiary graduates
• Beta – Secondary, vocational and technical graduates or drop-outs
• Alpha – Junior high school graduates/drop-outs and youth with little to no formal education
