Our Story

How It Started

Young Access Hub was born from a recognition that many young people in Kono District face barriers in accessing the resources, skills, and networks they need to thrive.

Founded in 2020 with a simple but powerful belief: every young person deserves the opportunity to transform their life and contribute meaningfully to their community. We started with small workshops and a WhatsApp group — and have since grown into a recognised social enterprise.

Where We Are Today

YAH is now working on the 4th Youth Empowerment Summit in Kono District and building a mobile e-learning platform.

We've delivered training programmes for hundreds of young people, launched an ICT training centre, and built partnerships with local organisations. Our focus is now on scaling impact through technology — giving youth access to in-demand skills from the comfort of their homes.
