Target Group
Etijah’s projects are designed first and foremost to empower young people. Our work focuses on three main groups: youth themselves, youth workers, and youth-serving organizations. By strengthening these interconnected groups, Etijah creates a supportive ecosystem that promotes meaningful participation, protection, and leadership among young people.
Etijah equips youth workers with education and training that provide them with the tools and knowledge needed to work effectively with young people. Many enter the field without formal qualifications, learning only through practice. Recognizing this gap, Etijah serves as a training hub that develops and professionalizes youth workers across Egypt.
We also build the capacity of governmental and non-governmental youth-serving organizations to ensure their long-term effectiveness and sustainability. By promoting innovative development methodologies and sharing best practices, Etijah helps these institutions better serve youth and expand their positive impact.
Across all target groups, we place a strong emphasis on the empowerment of women, girls, and refugees. Our programs aim to ensure that these groups have equal access to opportunities for education, employment, and leadership, and that they are protected from all forms of violence and discrimination. Through this inclusive approach, Etijah continues to nurture a generation capable of shaping a more equitable and resilient Egyptian society.
