AJAN GENERAL ASSEMBLY 2024; THE OFFICIAL LAUNCH OF THE JESUIT YOUTH SOCIAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP ACTION (JYSEA) PROGRAM.

JYSEA is an added value of the AHAPPY program (value-based program recognized by UN AIDS to reduce HIV in children and adolescents) offering economic empowerment to the youth which brings a whole new approach in support of the youth and goes beyond simply intellectual and business skills.
