Empowering Youth for a Sustainable Future
WELCOME TO ETHIOPIA YOUTH ENVIRONMENTAL AWARENESS
Ethiopian Youth Environmental Awareness (EYEA) is a non-profit organization dedicated to addressing environmental challenges while empowering young people to become responsible leaders and agents of change.
Founded in response to the growing impacts of climate change, environmental degradation, and social vulnerability, EYEA recognizes that sustainable solutions depend on informed, engaged, and empowered youth. Through environmental education, community engagement, and practical action, we support young people in taking an active role in protecting the environment and shaping a sustainable future.
Our work is guided by the conviction that environmental responsibility must become a shared and universal practice—embraced by individuals, communities, institutions, and policymakers alike.
