Our Approach
At COAYA, we believe that knowledge fuels change, and by making information accessible, we help young women engage critically with the world around them.

We create pathways for young women to transform understanding into advocacy and meaningful community impact.
Building Supportive Communities
We foster environments where young women can learn together, share experiences, and support each other's growth.
