At Tigray Youth Empowerment Solutions (TYES), our commitment to improving the lives of internally displaced persons (IDPs) extends beyond a single site. In addition to managing the IDP Site in Freweyni Town, Eastern Zone, Tigray, since April 2023, we are proud to be actively involved in the management of four other IDP Sites. These sites include Adihaki Secondary School IDP Site, Alem Elementary School IDP Site, Hayelom Araya Elementary School IDP Site, and Fenkil Preparatory School IDP Site.

Across these five sites, we prioritize the well-being and specific needs of vulnerable groups, such as women, children, the elderly, and persons with disabilities. We strive to create safe and empowering environments that foster resilience and promote the dignity of all individuals affected by displacement.

Through collaborative efforts with government authorities, IDP committees, Clusters and partner organizations, we ensure effective communication, harmonized service provision, and advocacy for the rights of IDPs at each of these sites. Our dedicated team closely monitors service provision, coordinates distribution efforts, and seeks innovative solutions to address the unique challenges faced by each community.

Furthermore, we have established Child-Friendly Spaces (CFS) and Women and Girls Friendly Spaces (WGFS) at Tourist Hotel IDP Sites. These spaces provide children with opportunities for education, recreation, and psychosocial support, while offering women and girls a safe haven to share experiences, receive counseling, and acquire essential life skills.

At TYES, our ongoing efforts in managing these multiple IDP Sites reflect our unwavering commitment to empowering lives, fostering resilience, and creating a brighter future for all individuals affected by displacement.
