Green Young Entrepreneurs (GYES)

Some of the biggest issues the world is facing now are concerning the

environment. As population is growing and resources are being

exploited, many factors are contributing to the destruction of the

environment. It is important and relevant now to take action to

preserve the environment and do what we can to restore it. So doing

we can insure a great future for the following generations.

The aim of this project is to train youth about the causes of the

degradation of the environment and especially the contribution of men

worldwide and locally. Then there will be conferences and seminars

of information and trainings to youth to make them conscious about

this big issue and how they can contribute to fight against this

situation in Senegal. This project will involve other youth organizations

and associations and community groups.

while developing the concept of green economy.

SWITCH

The world is growing faster and all is about technology. The rate of

people in Africa and especially in Senegal that are aware of these new

technologies is very low. And technology becomes a requirement to

grow and improve in any other area nowadays. The SWITCH project

comes as a solution and an opportunity for youth to learn and develop

their skills in Information Technology and Communication (ICT)

area.

It aims to help young

people in Africa to

better understand and

use computers and

above all new ICT-

related practices.

These skills should be

used to build

entrepreneurship

because they are

essential requirements

for the employee. Job

creation and financial independence are all

important aspects in achieving poverty reduction in Africa. This is done

by exploiting the continent's greatest asset, its people, and by giving

them the essential skills to push its social and economic development.

Interns should have knowledge in some software usage such as

Microsoft office, SAARI, Photoshop, Vegas… and be able to give

trainings to youth according to the softwares they master.

Target audience: university and secondary students

Answer Solution and Knowledge (ASK)

HIV/AIDS is one of the major diseases that kill large numbers of

people in the world and especially in Africa. About three people die

every minute in the world due to HIV/AIDS.

Many people are still ignorant about HIV and its ways of

transmission and are still contracting the disease. So it is important

for us as youth to stand and say “NO” to this situation and save our

people.

The aim of this project is to

train the trainers. So the

professional of health such

as our government and NGO

partners will train the

university students about

AIDS/HIV issues and

everything concerning the

disease. Then these trained

students will be the agent that

will train the peer educator

who will be the secondary

students that will bring the

information to their respective homes, families, friends...

Then the big events of the project will be the sensitization day and

conferences about HIV/AIDS. There will also be some demonstration

of preservative usage and tips to prevent the disease. Above all there

will be a detecting of people for them to know their serology statute.

The intern should be involved in all the activities of the project and will

be trained to become the peer educator trainer.

Target audience: youth

LC CESAG PROJECTS

SAMA Project

Malaria annually kills more than 2.7million people worldwide. 80% of

cases are in sub-Saharan Africa, where mostly children under five

years and pregnant women are affected. Every 30 seconds one child

dies from malaria in the world.

African Governments have committed themselves to

fight against malaria and achieve the Millennium

Development Goals, but it’s still not sufficient. So we

must all put our hands together to get into the same

dynamic to improve the lives of many innocent

people through "SAMA PROJECT".

The purpose of the project is to raise awareness of

the disease, go to rural communities and tell them

about malaria and how to prevent it. Make fundraising and

approach international organizations to have support to buy medical

mosquito nets and share them to people for them to sleep under

them and prevent the disease, and destroy the sources of mosquitos

by spraying insecticides… There will also be

trainings to children and parents about good

hygiene habits to prevent the transmission.

Interns should be responsible of the activities

and lead them. They should raise awareness

in the population about the disease through

sensitizations and fundraise to buy mosquito

nets that will be shared in houses.

Target audience: children and pregnant

women.

Green Health

When we look at climate

anomalies and natural disasters

that we are witnessing, taking in

account the protection of our

environment is essential in any

business idea. Thus, the project

GREEN HEALTH appears as a

program that encourages young

people to undertake but more in

the area of green economy to

create green jobs.

The aim of this project is to create green jobs by initiating projects

that will fight against environmental issues while providing

financial incomes such as recycling garbage to produce bags while

earning money or planting nursery trees that will bring incomes later.

There will be trainings about the concepts of “green economy”,

entrepreneurship and how to make a business plan. After the

training, the participants will come to initiate their own projects and

two of them that really meet the concept of “green economy” will be

sponsored by the partners of the project.

Interns should participate in all the activities

of the project, training participants about

how to create a business plan and about

green economy concept. Interns can be

trained also to the concept of green

economy.

Target audience: youth

AIESEC in Senegal | Project Booklet 2014-2015
