Who We Are

The Young Scientists' Association (YSA) is a dynamic, youth-led nonprofit organization headquartered in Nairobi, Kenya. We have built a robust network of over 800 undergraduates, graduates, and early-career researchers spanning across 17 African countries.

YSA is dedicated to empowering the next generation of African scientists — strengthening their capacity to tackle critical challenges in health, agriculture, climate, and education through scientific research and innovation.
