Our Mission:

Education is important to change the attitudes of the people and ensures that populations have the necessary tools to assess and tackle the problems of sustainable development. JVE’s mission is to involve youth (and marginalized groups) in the sustainable development process and to promote social justice for all.

What We Do:

- Protect, explore and enjoy our natural heritage
- Promote the spirit of initiative and volunteering
- Include children, women and youth in the protection of the canvas of life
- Facilitate the integration of youth in the economic, technological and social structure
- Facilitate access to natural resources and protect these resources
- Protection of rights and interest of farmers and groups at risk
In order to achieve that goal and to have a transparent and efficient day to day functioning of the NGO, the next three programs have been developed:

1. The Sustainable Community Development Program which regroups the programs ‘Poverty Reduction’ and ‘Community Development’.
2. The Bio-Climate Program which regroups the programs ‘Biodiversity and Water’ and ‘Climatic Changes’.
3. The Eco-Citizenship Program regroups the programs ‘Environmental Education’ and ‘Social Justice’.

Under these programs the next projects are currently being conducted:
- Solar Water Pasteurisation Project in the Vo Region
- National Multi-stakeholder Dialogue on Sustainable Development and Dams
- Programme Ecology and Conscience (PEC)

Other projects are being elaborated at this very moment.
