Child by child, we build our world

YCAB Foundation is the founding organization in YCAB Social Enterprise Group with a vision to see a thriving world where youth and mothers are empowered through love, hope, and opportunity to be liberated from generational poverty in sustainable ways.

YCAB bases its operations on a mutually reinforcing and financially sustainable social change model with one clear mission which is to improve welfare through education and innovative financing.

YCAB aims to vitalize underprivileged youths to become self-reliant or “mandiri” through economic empowerment and education, bringing them from subsistence to sustainable livelihood. YCAB believes in the power of education to improve welfare.

To date, YCAB has positively impacted over five million young individuals and empowered more than 200,000 ultra-micro women entrepreneurs. In 2024, YCAB Foundation retained its #28 ranking on the TOP 100 SGO/NGO list by TheDotGood, a global nonprofit rating agency based in Geneva, Switzerland.

In 2006, YCAB International Inc. was established in Atlanta, Georgia, structured as a non-profit 501(c)(3) with a headquarter in New York City.
