A Future Where Young People Can Thrive
Justicia works at the intersection of sustainable development, economic empowerment, and social justice supporting young people and communities to build resilient livelihoods.
Rooted In Ethiopia, Built On Partnership
Justicia Center for Sustainable Development is a registered Ethiopian civil society organization committed to building a sustainable, inclusive, and prosperous future. We believe environmental protection and economic opportunity can grow together, and that young people have the creativity, ambition, and potential to lead this change.
Through youth empowerment, green entrepreneurship, and sustainable development initiatives, we support young people in turning innovative ideas into practical business opportunities. Our work focuses on building skills, encouraging environmental responsibility, and creating pathways for sustainable livelihoods and long-term economic growth.
We implement Green Future Africa, a youth-led green enterprise development programme founded by the British Embassy Addis Ababa in partnership with the British Council Ethiopia and other strategic partners.
