A Story From

Youth Initiatives

Young people have the ideas, motivation, and desire to tackle the world’s most pressing issues, but often lack funds and support. This is why UNESCO and Nestlé are launching the "Because Youth Matter" initiative to provide young leaders financial support and skills to implement change-making solutions for social impact in their communities.

The project will begin in Latin America with a call for applications on June 1^st - while the end-goal is to scale-up the partnership to the global level in the future.
