Youth-Led Solution Labs — Call for Applications - TaYA (formerly Talent Youth Association) Announcement | April 24, 2026

AfriYAN Ethiopia (Sidama Chapter), the Sidama Regional Youth Association, and TaYA came together to host a powerful Youth Summit in Hawassa, focusing on meaningful youth engagement in health and peace.

Young people, government officials, and key partners sat at one table to discuss SRHR, peacebuilding, and youth leadership. Real conversations were had, strong connections were built, and youth-led solutions came to life.

Together, we are lifting youth voices, forming real partnerships, and pushing for lasting change in health and peace.

Young people deserve more than awareness. They deserve action.

At TaYA, we stand for science-driven care, real access, and the right of every young person to own their health journey.

Sexual and Reproductive Health is not a privilege. It is a right. Full stop.

💚 Stand with us. Stand with young people. Stand with science.

This morning a man called and said:
"ዱባይ ትሄዳለህ። ደሞዝህ ትልቅ ነው። መንገዱ ሰላም ነው።"
We said: "Sir, today is April Fools' Day."
He said: "ምን April Fools'? ይህ ስራዬ ነው።"

Do not be fooled today. Do not be fooled tomorrow.

If migration is a must, there is a safe and legal option.
Choose the Better Way.
