About us
The Youth Advocates for Environmental Safety and Health Initiative (YAESHI) is a non-profit, non-governmental organization founded in 2018. Our mission is to empower Nigerian youth to become leaders in promoting environmental health and safety.
We envision a future where all Nigerians, especially young people, are actively engaged in creating a sustainable environment with strong health and safety standards. By advocating for change and taking action, we strive to prevent environmentally related diseases, such as respiratory, heart, non-communicable, and neurological conditions.
