A Few Words - Meet some of the TYN Team!

About Us

Tigray Youth Network are a collective that aims to inspire and educate the leaders of tomorrow. Through workshops and providing safe spaces, we hope to bring together the Tigrayan Diaspora, and as a domino effect, aspire to enrich the lives of our people both here and back home.

As Tigrayan individuals, we learn the importance of nurturing a profound sense of unity, akin to a close-knit family. The Tigray Youth Network aspires to extend its hand in assistance and support to those in need of our resources. Our aim is to serve as advocates for those who’s voices have been subdued and to foster a community for young people in the UK.
