In September–October 2025, I joined Pact on a five-day documentation and communications trip in Ethiopia to support the Youth Network for Sustainable Development (YNSD) and their Community Service as a Pathway to Work (CSPW) initiative. This YNSD-led project empowers young people through community service, leadership development, and hands-on learning that builds practical skills and strengthens their connection to their communities. During a dedicated documentation day in Sodo, I captured interviews, photography, and impact stories that show how youth are gaining confidence, experience, and a sense of purpose through their involvement. With YNSD’s permission, I received a non-commercial license to use these images, which highlight the energy and commitment of the young people we met. Additional photos in this collection were taken on my days off and reflect everyday life from my time exploring Ethiopia.
