In order for the development of a country to be successful, there must be adequate participation and involvement from its youths, who demonstrate the potential to integrate in the policy-making process at local, regional, and national community levels. It is with this consideration that the our organization was founded by a team of young volunteers, with the objective of creating a space for dialogue that is open to all young in order to work toward promoting their participation in the decision-making process regarding issues that affect their lives. The organization also serves with the objective of promoting the exchange of experiences and working together to allow for new horizons of creation and participation among youths.

Main Projects / Activities
Our NGO is working with youth for youth by empowering their skills and competences in different sectors through non formal education and nowadays through outdoor activities for a better team work inside our NGO but also to have them well integrated in the society to defend their rights and be effective in their entourages.
