Empowering the Next Generation

At Acha Foundation, youth play a central role in shaping our programs and initiatives. We believe that young people are essential to the future of cultural preservation and environmental sustainability. By involving youth in media clubs, cultural storytelling, and leadership training, we cultivate leadership skills, creativity, and a deep sense of ownership over their cultural heritage and community development. Our programs inspire young individuals to document their traditions, promote sustainability, and engage in creative problem-solving for environmental and social challenges.
