‘’Empowering Young People to become Leaders in National Sustainable Development’’
Our organization, named “Network of Advocacy for Youth Empowerment (NAYE),” is a feminist and youth-led advocacy group focused on promoting the rights of children, adolescent girls, young women, and youth. We aim to end various social issues such as child abuse, Sexual Gender Base Violence, human trafficking, malaria, Neglected Tropical Diseases, and climate change.
NAYE actively advocates for policies and programs that promote positive change in the lives of children and young people. We prioritize empowering women and youth through education, skill training, livelihood, and entrepreneurship initiatives. Our organization also firmly believes in promoting sexual and reproductive health education and rights.
We are committed to amplifying voices from marginalized communities such as children, adolescent girls, young women, and people with disabilities. Through our advocacy efforts, we hope to create a world where every individual can live a life free from violence, discrimination, and poverty.

The formation of NAYE was inspired by the desire to make a positive impact in the lives of children and young people, particularly girls and women, who are often marginalized and face various forms of discrimination and violence. We saw a need for a platform where their voices could be heard, their rights could be protected, and their potential could be realized.
We were also motivated by the alarming rates of child abuse, sexual and gender-based violence, human trafficking, and other social issues affecting children and youth in our community. We felt a sense of urgency to take action and advocate for policies and programs that address these issues and promote positive change.
Furthermore, we were inspired by the resilience and strength of children and young people, especially girls and women, who despite facing numerous challenges, continue to strive for a better future. We believe that by empowering them with education, skills training, and opportunities for economic growth, we can create a more just and equitable society for all.
Overall, our passion for social justice and commitment to promoting the rights of children and youth were the driving forces behind the formation of NAYE. We envision a world where all individuals, regardless of their background or circumstances, can thrive and reach their full potential.
To build a world where everyone has equal access to basic needs, rights, protection, and opportunities for sustainable growth and development.
We are dedicated to creating a sustainable and equitable world for all by addressing various social issues such as climate change, child abuse, Sexual Gender Base Violence (SGBV), human trafficking, promoting education, sexual reproductive health rights, comprehensive sex education, and Safe and Clean Environment, livelihoods/agriculture, and skill training for children, adolescent girls, Person with Disabilities, young women, and youth.
