Sobre nosotros

TAYEN is a non-profit youth led organization that engages youth across Tanzania to solve environmental and youth development challenges by implementing community environmental action projects and sustainable development programs. Our mission is to inspire, educate and engage youth in solving Tanzania’s most pressing environmental problems through community action projects. We engage youth in our programs by building Youth Environmental Networks and Youth Associations in schools, Universities and in communities. Today, TAYEN has established more than 25 Youth Groups in schools and communities reaching more than 5,000 youths. TAYEN programs mainly focus on engaging youth under 30 in conservation and management of natural resources and building their skills to create lasting impact in communities they live. Our programs prepare the next generation of community leaders.
