YOUTH: Every stage of a child’s development serves as a springboard to the next.
When we say that children are our future, we mean the 1.2 billion yound people aged 15 to 24 wo live in the world today
90% of these young men and women are from underdeveloped countries. This demographic accounts for 25% of the global population… and over half of the unemployed.
They are diverse, energetic, and demanding at times. They’re also important partners in a country’s development.
Poverty, social isolation, and vulnerability, on the other hand, undermine their potential.
Because of the large number of young people in developing nations and the limited number of employment available, many young people are either denied opportunities or forced to labour in conditions that expose them to exploitation and abuse. Many more kids who are left alone are more likely to engage in harmful activity. 20,000 girls under the age of 18 give birth every day in poor nations, effectively limiting young women’s educational and employment options while also posing serious health hazards to themselves and their children.
Our Approach
Youth is a critical period of transition to adulthood that can lay foundations to success or reinforce the generational cycle of poverty. It is a time during which young people begin to shape their world view. In this moment of opportunity, we support youth in forming healthy behaviors and nurturing positive relationships, putting in place practices that will lead to prosperous adulthood.
TOUCEO’s youth programmes are meant to increase economic, physical, and social well-being, establishing the groundwork for adolescents to become change agents in their families, communities, and countries. To this purpose, we are concentrating our efforts on
