The Youth Cafés 2021 Annual Impact Report
The Youth Café is proud to share the eighth Impact Report produced based on the Social Return on Investment methodology. The average Social Return on Investment ratio for The Youth Café is 1:12, meaning that an investment of $1 delivers $12 value in terms of positive social impact. The present report outlines the main activities and projects carried out by The Youth Café from January to December 2021.
“Congratulations to The Youth Café staff, interns, volunteers, and partners on creating a sustainable and successful organization that will serve youth well in the future. ‘From my viewpoint in the U.S, I am glad my country participates in funding some of these projects. I encourage you to continue on this path of youth-led and youth-centered programming. What you do is important, it matters, and it is getting a lot of attention worldwide.”
The activities were developed and implemented in compliance with The Youth Cafés Strategic Plan approved for 2021-2023, its Theory of Change, and The 2017 Kenyan Youth Manifesto. +140 activities were chosen for evaluation during the reporting period to represent the diversity of The Youth Café programming. They were selected to represent all 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and 22 countries in Africa.
The Youth Café works with young men and women around Africa as a trailblazer in advancing youth-led approaches toward achieving sustainable development, social equity, innovative solutions, community resilience, and transformative change.
