Meet the Talent Youth Association

Talent Youth Association (TaYA) is a non-governmental organization founded in 2003 by considering the growing concern about sexual reproductive health of adolescents & young people and to make them influential leaders of the future Ethiopia. TaYA provides youth knowledge and opportunities to be healthy and self-reliant to work towards an Ethiopia of promise, gender equality, economic and environmental strength.

TaYA promotes the health and well-being of Ethiopia’s youth by eliminating barriers to development and by enabling youth to realize their full potential. TaYA focuses on HIV/AIDS and reproductive health issues, while supporting youth employment and leadership within the community. Their main strategies to improve young people’s SRHR are peer-to-peer education, awareness raising and involving young people in international networks, conferences and leadership.
