Community Youth Advocates for Learning Excellence - Empowering the next generation in Abuesi
Our Story
CYALE was founded in 2025 by a group of passionate young people who saw the need for comprehensive youth development programs in Abuesi. What started as informal tutoring sessions in a community center has grown into a full-fledged organization impacting hundreds of young lives.
Our founders recognized that many talented young people in Abuesi lacked access to quality educational support, leadership training, and practical life skills. They envisioned an organization that would bridge these gaps while fostering a sense of community pride and civic responsibility.
