What is 4H-Africa

4H is delivered by the FOYA Initiative — a program that provides experiences where young people learn by doing. Since 2004, FOYA 4H-Africa has welcomed young people of all beliefs and backgrounds, giving them a voice and platform to express who they are and how they make their lives and communities better.

Through life-changing 4H programs, young people can now learn the skills and abilities to be resilient, adaptable and ready for work and life.
