Building Sustainable Ventures to Empower Africa's Youth
For-profit initiatives driving long-term impact and opportunity
Our Purpose
Sustainability Meets Empowerment
YouthUp Global Ltd is the for-profit arm of the YouthUp Global ecosystem, established to create sustainable business ventures that complement our mission of youth empowerment. While our not-for-profit initiatives directly provide skills, experience, and opportunities, YouthUp Global Ltd ensures that the infrastructure and innovations required to deliver these programs are financially sustainable and scalable.
Our Subsidiaries

Portfodia is a digital portfolio platform that allows young talents to showcase their skills, projects, and work experience in a professional, verifiable format. By linking Portfodia profiles to Utidia apprenticeships, we provide a proof-of-work ecosystem that helps African youth stand out in the global digital economy.
