YPA started in 2008 but as an ordinary village group with 21 individuals, then grew to a Community Based Organization (CBO) in 2010 with a group of 60 people, who now serve as the Board of Governors, Executive Committee, and Managing Directors.

Because there was a need to trade internationally and publicly, Youth Platform Africa acquired a Certificate of Registration as BREC Youth Empowerment Africa Limited as a Company limited by guarantee.

YPA runs several projects, generating minimal profits from services and receiving in-kind donations from Africans as part of our charitable endeavors in Uganda.
