About Us
Mission and Objectives
In particular, YUVA Urban Initiatives aims to uphold the rights of the most vulnerable groups in large cities, especially the children and youth. Rooted in our belief in empowerment, we seek to build the capacities of urban poor communities to address issues related to the quality of their living conditions and livelihoods. With access to healthcare services still highly inequitable, we endeavour to enable access to medical facilities for the urban poor.
Creating cities that are just, equitable and sustainable
Making cities a better place for the poor by enabling access to human rights
