IRYEF has created measurable change in teenagers’ value systems across Delta State. Their programs have successfully reoriented youth toward positive social values, resulting in noticeable behavioral improvements in our communities.

IRYEF stands out among youth development organizations in Nigeria for delivering concrete results. Their evidence-based approach has equipped thousands of young Nigerians with the resilience and skills needed to overcome the unique challenges of the 21st century

Since implementing IRYEF’s programs, we’ve seen a 40% reduction in disciplinary issues and a 35% increase in student-led community initiatives. Their approach has transformed how our students view their role in society

IRYEF’s structured leadership development programs have already identified and nurtured many emerging young leaders who are implementing community development projects. Their methodology is creating the next generation of ethical business and government leaders for Nigeria and Africa

After participating in IRYEF’s mentorship program, my son’s academic performance improved by two grade levels. More importantly, he’s developed critical thinking skills that have helped him resist negative peer pressure in our community

IRYEF has successfully filled critical gaps in our youth development infrastructure, reaching many teenagers with essential life skills training that government programs alone couldn’t provide. Their work has reduced youth vulnerability to extremism and delinquency by a large percentage by creating a stronger foundation for our state’s future and country

Through IRYEF’s targeted interventions, we’ve documented an increase in youth participation in sustainable development initiatives. Their methodology for redirecting youth focus has become a model for our World Bank projects, demonstrating cost-effective approaches to building youth capacity and resilience.

This is getting young people started in the right direction, because many times young people make the wrong choices because they did not get the opportunity to know what are the more appropriate choices to make. I congratulate and compliment those who are exposed to this programme, because they have an edge over those who have not been exposed to this kind of experience.

Before joining IRYEF, I was struggling with peer pressure and lacked direction in life. Their comprehensive program transformed my approach completely—my academic performance soared from average C grades toconsistent A’s. The mentorship connection continued through university, where I maintained a close relationship with the founder. This guidance led to my winning prestigious NYSC awards, and eventually launching my own shoe manufacturing company that now employs several other young people. IRYEF equipped me with everything I know about business leadership and entrepreneurship. The program didn’t just improve my skills—it fundamentally changed my identity and expanded what I believe is possible for my future.
