NYCA a local community based Organization which strives to create a future where youth are able to facilitate their own development. NYCA works in program areas of Youth Entrepreneurship and Microfinance, Youth Community Capacity Building and Mentorship, Grassroots community mobilization, Technology and Library Services, Lobbying, and Research.
NYCA encourages and strengthens collective social, economic, cultural, environmental and technological initiatives developed by youth in urban informal settlements and rural areas around Ndalu. NYCA strives to remove obstacles to youth empowerment so that they have sustainable livelihoods and successful lives.
NYCA originates from Ndalu village of Bungoma county and entirely staffed by youths. Unlike most organizations working with youth, NYCA Enables youth to come up with their own solutions, rather than telling them what to sell to make money or how to act, and 2) Never pays youth to attend trainings or events, youth value NYCA training and technical assistance activities for their own inherent value.
From observation and experience it was realized that youth groups based in villages, have potential that is only limited by their socio-economic environment. By providing basic training, resources and mentorship, these youth do indeed prosper.
NYCA aims to assist marginalized and disenfranchised youth, to help them create and sustain income generating, lead a healthy life, access the benefits of ICT and have a better understanding of their rights as citizens.
