OUR HISTORY
Miles Africa Youth Network was established in 2021 and officially incorporated and launched in October 2024. Rooted in the Mamfe-Akuapem community, the organization has been dedicated to empowering young people through mentoring, discipleship, extra tuition, and scholarship opportunities. These initiatives were personally funded by the founder, driven by a deep love for the community and a commitment to service. Inspired by the founder’s own experiences of overcoming challenges, such as limited access to educational materials, the organization seeks to provide educational support and guidance to the youth, helping them avoid deviant behaviors and pursue brighter futures. These efforts began at a time when no external support was available, but a personal pledge was made to persevere and ensure that no youth struggles to access education. With faith in God and the support of like-minded individuals, Miles Africa Youth Network continues to create impactful opportunities for the next generation.
