YEP!africa works to reduce unemployment among talented young people in Africa. During the first Entrepreneurs for Africa workshop organized by YEP!africa, Nils Schoonhoven joined the group entrepreneurs and Gambian youth. The five day workshop about entrepreneurship is part of YEP!africa’s youth empowerment program which aims: “Creating and supporting the enabling conditions under which young people can act on their own behalf, and on their own terms, rather than at the direction of others.”

YEP!africa will be the leading organization in Africa that creates sustainable livelihoods and employment opportunities for youth in the future.

Nils Schoonhoven (1980) is a Dutch photographer specialized in portrait- and advertising photography.
