The Twenty-First Century African Youth Movement (AYM) works with youth in rural communities. AYM create jobs and provides employment. We currently work in Mattru Jong, a thriving rural town in the Southern Province of Sierra Leone. We need $20,000.00 to establish a Computer Center in Mattru Jong. Our long-term objective is to connect Mattru Jong to the Internet using a VSAT terminal. Mattru Jong has a persisting problem of youth unemployment and illiteracy. We believe a thriving Internet access will change this. Studies show that broadband can increase economic and social opportunities in developing countries. High-speed broadband access is now a requirement for economic and social development. According to the United Nations and the Sierra Leone government, 60 percent of young women and men between the ages of 14 to 35 are unemployed, which is among the highest in West Africa.

Mission Statement
Creating Jobs and Employment for Youths in Africa!
Description
The Twenty-First Century African Youth Movement (AYM) is a beacon of hope for Africa's dynamic youth. Our core mission? Ignite opportunities! At AYM, we don't just talk change - we create it by generating jobs and fostering employment for the continent's burgeoning young population. Through our targeted initiatives, we're paving avenues for a prosperous, self-sufficient future, transforming the narrative of Africa's youth from seekers to achievers. Join us in molding the future leaders of Africa.
Our focus is to r espond to the huge unemployment and inactivity facing the vast majority of youth in Sierra Leone, a reality that reflects the African youth experience. AYM plans to expand its country-level support in Liberia, Ghana, and Gambia by the end of 2014.
Mobilizing Africa’s unemployed and underemployed youth is the key to the continent’s economic growth and stability. AYM works to mobilize marginalized youth through education, training, and creates entrepreneurial opportunities to help move communities away from poverty, disease, and hunger. AYM aims to establish personal empowerment and community resilience by energizing its critical youth population as change agents to reverse social and economic stagnation.
