More than ever we need young people’s leadership to solve challenges our communities face. Our work to support the journey of young people to become a leader in their own right and help them multiply that leadership in their communities is even more needed. We need young people that are able to work with their communities to identify community challenges and offer community-driven and owned solutions to those challenges.
Every year we train, mentor, nurture and connect thousands of young people to lead change. We saw young people we trained to become social entrepreneurs, setting up businesses, youth advocates, and campaigning on issues like gender equality, climate justice, HIV and many others. No matter the issue, young leaders are working in communities to achieve the same goal: improve their lives and the lives of people in their communities, deal with gender based violence misinformation, support young people to be responsible citizens and above all young people lead work in their communities. In 2021 our young leaders played a huge role in reaching out to 2,923 young people with HIV and AIDS, Gender Based Violence messages. Overall we directly reached out to over 4,351 young people and other community members.
