OUR IMPACT

Measuring the Impact of Youth Empowerment

De-YELF measures its progress by the young people, schools, volunteers and partners reached through our literacy, advocacy and sustainable-development programs.

Our Impact in Numbers — as of October 2026

These figures represent verified De-YELF reach and participation across our youth-development work as of October 2026. The 250+ secondary-school students are young people who were actively enrolled in secondary school at the time of the program. The 500+ community youths are young people reached through De-YELF activities who were not secondary-school students; the two figures therefore represent separate participant groups.

Literacy & Critical Thinking

Through WordPlay and school-based engagement, De-YELF creates opportunities for young people to strengthen vocabulary, literacy, strategic thinking, confidence and problem-solving.

Youth Advocacy & Positive Choices

Through initiatives such as the De-YELF Cup, sport becomes a platform for teamwork, discipline, drug-abuse awareness and constructive youth engagement.

Sustainability & Youth Leadership

SUSDEV helps young people connect the Sustainable Development Goals to local challenges and participate in practical, youth-led action.

Help Us Extend the Reach

Partnerships with schools, institutions, agencies, professionals and responsible businesses help De-YELF create more opportunities for young people.
