Daughter of the mediterranean, is a women-led social enterprise dedicated to empowering young women across the Euro-Mediterranean region, that emerge from “YERAME”, EU funded project aims to:

tackle depopulation in the Euro Mediterranean rural areas, which have become increasingly emptied of the necessary youth to foster economic development, access to services, and connectivity. The ageing and decline of the population are one of the greatest future challenges facing the European Union, and since rural areas represent the vast majority of the territory involved, YERAME has been crafted with the scope to increase the capacity to provide learning opportunities for entrepreneurial skills of organizations working with young people in rural areas.
The project is expected to improve the entrepreneurial skills of the rural youth of the Mediterranean region, to promote the creation of sustainable businesses that can therefore tackle the depopulation in those areas that are suffering.

The Daughter of the Mediterranean begins its activity in 2023 as a women-led social enterprise focusing on the empowerment of women, aged between 16 to 35, from southern Mediterranean countries. Its work dignifies culture, non formal education, and social change while addressing the specific challenges that women strive to overcome. It operates with a small team consisting of 5 members, and collaborating with regional partners and organizations that support youth empowerment and gender equality. Our annual budget is supported by grants and partnerships.
