Founder of International Youth Empowerment Summit (IYES), Pastor Brain Amoateng, has launched the IYES Foundation to help create an avenue for brilliant but talented young individuals achieve their goals in life.

At the launch in Accra, Pastor Brian Amoateng noted how most young people, though challenged by speakers during IYES programmes to thrust forward and break barriers, the practicality is barely feasible because of the unavailability of start-up capital for them. The IYES Foundation he maintained, is here to breach such gaps and give them the push to reach their dreams.

“I wake up every day to not less than 10 messages on either Instagram or Facebook from young people that have business ideas….how can they do it, they need some money,” he noted.

According to Pastor Brain, he realised that there was an urgent need to go beyond just motivating young people to actually empowering them financially to enable them achieve their goals.

“We will create the platform for the young talented people to network with great IYES ambassadors to be mentored,” he added.

Pastor Brian said his IYES team will weigh the business ideas that will be developed and presented by young people before they can access the IYES Foundation.
