Young People We Care (YPWC) is a youth-led NGO based in Ghana, whose mission is to empower young people and encourage them to engage in the development of their communities, get involved in the decision-making processes, and take a leading role towards achieving the Millennium Development Goals.

"At the age of twenty, I took a gap-year before attending university to pursue my dream of creating a non-profit organization to inform, educate and empower young people to change the world. With little or no funding, many said it would be impossible, but the achievements of YPWC, through the efforts of the volunteer staff of YPWC and the team of online volunteers, prove otherwise. Today, we even have offices in the UK, Canada and the USA”, says Michael Boampong, YPWC founder and executive director.

I hope this video will inspire others to be the change that they wish to see. To paraphrase Ghandi, "Be the Change" that you want to see.
