Scholarship & Education Guidance
Helping students understand scholarships, admissions, requirements, and international education pathways.
YEP Initiative is a youth-led educational platform helping Ethiopian students navigate international education opportunities through customized guidance, practical resources, training, mentorship, and community support.

YEP Initiative, short for Yael Educational Pathway, was born out of empathy and a desire to support our community.
Founded in 2024, YEP works to make international education opportunities more accessible to Ethiopian students by providing reliable information, practical guidance, training, mentorship, and resources.
