Youth Economy with Environmental Conservation (YEEC) is dedicated to empowering Tanzanian youth to contribute meaningfully to both environmental conservation and economic development. Since its inception, YEEC has worked towards equipping young individuals with the technical skills, confidence, and leadership abilities needed to lead sustainable initiatives in their communities. With a focus on environmental sustainability and economic growth, YEEC is committed to creating a brighter future for the youth and the nation.
Equipping young people with knowledge to address gender, climate, and demographic challenges
In marginalized societies, youth international development programs often face setbacks due to gender inequality, poverty, technological barriers, and lack of access to education. YEEC addresses these by empowering youth through gender education and family planning awareness to create a sustainable balance between social, economic, and environmental goals.
Gender is a key factor in climate and social justice. YEEC promotes inclusive education and addresses gender stereotypes that prevent youth from fully participating in climate action and sustainable development efforts.
YEEC provides reproductive health education to address challenges such as early pregnancies and high maternal mortality. These efforts aim to improve well-being and contribute to sustainable population management.
Many communities lack awareness and resources to respond to natural and man-made disasters. YEEC fills this gap by educating youth on humanitarian action, land restoration, and landscape maintenance.
YEEC connects youth with role models and leadership networks to help them navigate the complexities of governance, career development, and global dynamics—enabling them to achieve their aspirations.
Engaging Tanzania youths in environment-friendly economic activities
Youths in marginalized communities face obstacles like limited education, finance, and job access, perpetuating poverty and environmental harm. YEEC supports entrepreneurship, education, and inclusive initiatives to foster economic independence and sustainability.
YEEC bridges the gap in access to quality education and vocational training for youth, aligning them with market needs and encouraging sustainable economic contributions.
Many youth aspire to own businesses but lack support. YEEC equips them with knowledge, mentorship, and resources to sustain ventures and contribute to job creation.
Preserving environment through community action
YEEC promotes alternative energy and reforestation to counter deforestation caused by charcoal and firewood dependence. Campaigns include nature-based solutions and sustainable fuel use.
With poor waste systems in many areas, YEEC promotes zero-plastic communities through education and recycling initiatives to combat pollution and environmental degradation.
