Youth |

---|---|---|---|---|
Today, 42 percent of the world’s population is under the age of 25—the largest proportion of youth ever recorded. Because youth have the power to overcome the world’s greatest challenges, this is an unprecedented opportunity for economic and social progress. At World Education, we believe that, if given the right technologies, resources, skills, and space, this generation of youth can reduce poverty, discrimination, and exploitation—in short, they can make the world a better place. World Education’s programming seeks to meet the holistic needs of youth by increasing their knowledge, assets, and skills through access to high-quality learning, including technology training, and workforce development. That education, combined with integrated, multi-sectoral programs, including health and nutrition, are key components of our approach. Embedded in all programs are activities to enhance protective factors and encourage participation in economic, social, and political life. To ensure that communities support the efforts of their youth, World Education also supports enabling environments to foster positive youth development.
