Testimonials

We always love to here what our partners, customers, and beneficiaries say about Charlie Young

I am very greatfull the kindness and support I received from Charlie Young which has enabled me to go back to school and continue with my education

Levo Omuse Form 4 Student

I would do no justice if I didn't mention that ever since the Charlie Young Foundation chose to serve the girls in Chamasiri community, there has been tremendous transition and transformation among them. Rates of absenteeism among the girls due to menses have stopped, girls' self esteem and academic performance have been boosted.

I had the incredible opportunity to receive beekeeping training in my rural community through the Charlie Young Foundation Smart Bee Project. As a girl breaking into a field traditionally dominated by men, this experience has been life-changing. I learned modern techniques—from hive management to honey harvesting—and discovered the vital role bees play in our ecosystem. This empowerment has given me the confidence to start my own beekeeping venture, providing a sustainable income and contributing to environmental conservation. Thank you, Charlie, for opening doors for me and many other youths.

Welcome to Charlie Young. I founded this social enterprise with a bold vision: to empower communities through innovative agriculture and transformative education. Inspired by personal hardships and our people’s resilience, we embrace sustainable practices that provide nutritious, locally sourced food and generate economic opportunities for farmers. Beyond farming, we invest in social initiatives that empower underprivileged children and girls, ensuring every child can thrive. Each project nurtures hope and breaks cycles of poverty.
