or at https://www.cyen.org/ CYEN is a non-profit, non-governmental organisation that focuses its resources on empowering young citizens of the Caribbean and their communities to develop programmes/actions to address socio-economic and environmental issues. CYEN's programmes aim to address issues such as poverty alleviation,

youth employment, health, climate change, biodiversity, disaster resilience, integrated water resources management, waste management and other natural resource management issues in the context of sustainable development. CYEN views youth as an important and critical development resource. It is dedicated to developing strategies to engage and facilitate their participation in the development process. CYEN defines young people as anyone within the 15-32 age group. However, it is supportive of the transitional approach to youth development, which is articulated by the World Bank and agencies within the UN System (World Development Report, 2001; World Youth Report, 2005).

World Water Day may have passed, but the issues remain the same💧
