A world in which every individual in need is empowered through one of YTT’s four flagship programs: the Gender Equality Education & Gender-Based Violence Prevention Program, the Art Therapy Mental Health and Psychosocial Support (MHPSS) Program, the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Education Program, and the Peace Building Education Program.

Our Approach
The YTT Learning Approach is a unique art-based educational method developed since 2017 as the foundation for each of our four programs. It focuses on the critical issues of of gender disparity and violence, peace-building, mental health support, discrimination, exploitation, inclusion and diversity. Co-designed in collaboration with several university teams of child-development psychologists, educational scientists, mental health advisors, professors and GBV specialists. The continuous innovation and exploration of this approach ensures relevance and sustainability whilst fostering transformative change and amplifying marginalised voices at local, national, and global levels

Where We Work
YTT delivers impactful, community-driven programs across multiple countries, advancing gender equality, diversity, equity, mental healthcare, and inclusion in diverse and often complex contexts.
In Uganda, our ongoing YTT Gender-Equality Education & GBV Prevention Program has educated more than 82,000 children, women and young people and trained hundreds of teachers and social workers, in refugee settlements and marginalized host communities, partnering closely with schools and local authorities to ensure sustainable, locally rooted impact.
In Afghanistan, YTT has launched a pilot arts-based psychosocial support and empowerment program for girls and women. Delivered by a locally based, YTT trained team of female psychologists, the initiative will reach up to 500 girls and 28 female teachers across 28 clandestine classes in 8 to 10 provinces during its pilot phase.
In the United States, YTT provides mental health support to refugees and marginalized communities, particularly in the states of Texas and Florida. In Italy and more recently in France, the YTT DEI Education Program has reached 1,200 children and trained more than 700 teachers across over 50 school classes and several universities.
Our past projects span Greece, Bosnia, Portugal, Serbia, Morocco, Romania, and the UK, reflecting a sustained international commitment to mental healthcare and inclusive education. In Greece, art therapy mental healthcare workshops reached 600 children and 200 adults across multiple refugee camps. In Bosnia, the Peace Building through Art and Education Program trained 93 teachers and engaged 125 schoolchildren. Across Serbia, Morocco, Romania, and the UK, initiatives focused on mental health, diversity, and inclusion education.
Collectively, these programs demonstrate YTT’s long-term dedication to addressing urgent social challenges while adapting thoughtfully to the needs of diverse communities across varied cultural and geographic contexts.
