Our Programs
Innovation and Technology
This program represents the core identity of STS. We believe that technology is not just a tool—but a powerful enabler of humanitarian response, inclusive development, and sustainable recovery, especially in post-conflict settings like Tigray.
Youth Empowerment
Tigray’s future depends on the power, creativity, and leadership of its youth. STS’s Youth Empowerment Program is dedicated to helping young people gain the skills, voice, and agency they need to drive positive change, recover from crisis, and shape their futures.
Peace Building
Post-war Tigray requires urgent and sustained investment in healing, justice, and reconciliation. This program fosters social cohesion, digital peacebuilding, and the protection of human rights.

At STS, we firmly believe that advocacy is a catalyst for change. We actively engage in advocating for sustainable development, social justice, and the empowerment of marginalized communities in Tigray. Through strategic partnerships with civil society organizations, government agencies, and local communities, we work together to influence policies, address systemic issues, and promote inclusive development.
Capacity Building
Our Capacity Building Program strengthens the technical, organizational, and strategic competencies of individuals and institutions in Tigray. From grassroots CSOs to youth groups and government actors, we help partners develop the skills and systems they need to be more resilient, efficient, and responsive in a fast-changing environment.
