Amedine International Citizens Center is a not-for-profit organization, dedicated to supporting young people in developing countries by helping them have an equal opportunity to succeed and reach their full potential. Our primary goal is to raise awareness about and reduce the massive deaths from clandestine immigration by facilitating access to quality education and creating economic opportunities for youths in developing countries. By providing resources and support through education, mentorship and entrepreneurship training, we affect positive change in young people’s lives.
According to the UN Commission on International Migration, 5,000 Africans died in the Mediterranean Sea in 2016. The Mediterranean Sea is the most dangerous route for refugees and migrants in the world, in part because they travel on unsafe vessels with minimal or no safety or navigation equipment. People often take this risk because they are fleeing from horrendous situations, poverty or social injustice. They are seeking basic human dignity, better education and economic opportunity.
We take action by providing resources and support to young people in developing countries through education, mentorship and entrepreneurship training. We encourage them to take responsibility for their own lives, to have personal and professional goals, learn new skills and volunteer in their local communities.
Tied to our strong focus on social and economic issues, Amedine International Citizens Center also tackles challenges identified by the United Nations’ sustainable development initiatives including health & well-being and clean water & sanitation. Amedine International Citizens Center is registered and recognized in the United Nations database of initiative-based organizations, and was the winner of the GoAfrica Network’s 2016 African Union Exposition.
Our core values include service, support, involvement and advocacy:
