About Us
A Few Words - Meet some of the TYN Team!
About Us
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.
