Building the community one voice at a time..
Who we are..
The Empowerment Echo Foundation is a youth-led CBO dedicated to empowering vulnerable communities, mainly the youth, particularly in Arid and Semi-Arid Lands (ASAL) regions, to achieve food security, sustainable livelihoods, and resilience in climate change.
The foundation focuses on equipping young people with practical skills in sustainable agriculture, entrepreneurship, and climate adaptation strategies. Through training programs, mentorship, and resource mobilization, we empower communities to build self-reliant solutions that enhance food production, reduce poverty, and promote environmental conservation. By fostering innovation and sustainable practices, we strive to create lasting impact and improve the quality of life for marginalized groups.
