About us

YPCBI is a youth-led organization dedicated to empowering communities through education, advocacy, and sustainable development initiatives. We work to inspire positive change, nurture leadership, and create lasting impact for present and future generations.

Who Are Youth Positive Change

Youth Positive Change (YPC) is a youth-led, non-profit organization dedicated to empowering children, adolescents, and young people to become active leaders of positive social transformation. We work alongside communities to strengthen youth wellbeing, leadership, resilience, and inclusion.

At YPC, we believe that when young people are supported, protected, and empowered, they become powerful agents of peace, development, and sustainable change.

Our mission

To design and implement practical initiatives that address real community needs while promoting dignity, empowerment, and long‑term development.

Our vision

A future where every individual has access to essential opportunities to thrive — education, protection, guidance, and inclusion — without discrimination.

Why We Exist

Young people in Burundi face multiple, interconnected challenges that limit their opportunities and wellbeing. These include unequal access to quality education and skills development, psychosocial distress, unemployment and economic insecurity, climate vulnerability, persistent gender inequality, and limited inclusion in decision-making processes that affect their lives.

Our response

Youth Positive Change (YPC) creates safe, inclusive, and youth-centred environments where young people can thrive. We empower children, adolescents, and youth with skills, wellbeing support, and leadership opportunities.
Through community-based approaches, young people drive positive and sustainable change.
