On August 12, 2000, the inaugural International Youth Day (IYD) was marked, following its endorsement by the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in 1999. This occasion is designed to globally spotlight a range of concerns pertaining to the young population. The theme for 2023 is “Green skills for youth: towards a sustainable world.” A triumphant shift towards a greener world will rely on development of green skills within the populace. This theme provides an opportunity to recognize the attributes of young individuals and the capacity they possess to contribute to a nation’s development.
Empower the World Foundation extends assistance to underprivileged children by providing scholarships, thereby easing their financial constraints and allowing them to pursue their education. Additionally, we conduct workshops aimed at inspiring and motivating young individuals.
The absence of opportunities to access resources is one of the factors that hinder young individuals from realizing their full potential. Depression, peer pressure, unemployment, and lack of self-confidence are further challenges that confront young people. It is our duty to provide encouragement, generate opportunities, and offer support to the youth as they navigate through the various challenges of life.
