Empowerment and Youth Awareness (EYA) was established 2018, it was earlier started as a group of peers who decided to join together to contribute their potentiality to bring significant changes and improvements into lives of young people and women regardless of their age differences but later on members decided to establish an organization which would be more organized and systematized to work.
