Life Project 4 Youth (LP4Y)

👉 During the 61th UN Commission for Social Development, the NGO Committee, which LP4Y is part of, is dedicated to raising awareness on the Priority Theme and bringing the voices, experiences, and recommendations from the grassroots. The NGO Committee held a Civil Society Forum, which one of the thematic sessions was about “Working Toward Concrete Solutions for Marginalized Young People Facing Unemployment.” For most marginalized youth living in poverty, their work does not mean earning a living wage. It means exploitation, very low pay, and forced layoffs. This panel showed how work should enable youth to live in dignity and be recognized as useful members of society. Sherlyn Caasi, Life Project 4 Youth (LP4Y) graduate, is an example of success. She worked as a call center agent in Alorica and is today coach herself leading a LP4Y program in Tondo, Manila, Philippines. She shared a testimony and precious inputs on this panel on February 10th. Listen to her!

[Événement] 📣 Journée internationale pour l'élimination de la pauvreté 📣   Premier #ODD inscrit dans l'Agenda 2030 des Nations Unies, la lutte contre la pauvreté est un enjeu global ainsi qu'une condition sine qua non à la construction d'un monde prospère et équitable.    On considère aujourd'hui l'extrême pauvreté comme le fait de survivre avec moins de 2,15$ par personne et par jour : une situation alarmante qui devrait encore concerner 575 millions de personnes à travers le monde à la fin de la décennie, selon les projections onusiennes. La lutte contre la pauvreté est un combat majeur et qui doit prendre en compte de nombreux domaines intrinsèquement corrélés : l'économie et l'emploi bien sûr, mais également l'éducation, l'égalité entre les sexes, l'accès à l'eau potable et à une alimentation équilibrée ou encore les politiques de sécurité sociale.    💡 Quel rôle le Volontariat international d'échange et de solidarité peut-il jouer ? France Volontaires et ses membres agissent concrètement sur le terrain via des projets co-construits axés sur l'éducation et la formation, l'inclusion, la professionnalisation et l'autonomisation (notamment des femmes et jeunes filles), l'agriculture durable ou encore la coopération décentralisée ⏤ autant d'opportunités d'engagement pour les volontaires que de leviers de solidarité pour réduire les inégalités.   👀 Découvrez Life Project 4 Youth (LP4Y) qui a rejoint notre plateforme cette année. Fédération internationale, LP4Y rassemble 17 organisations dans 14 pays dont la mission est le développement de solutions innovantes pour l'inclusion professionnelle et sociale des 17-24 ans issus de l'extrême pauvreté et/ou victimes d'exclusion. France Volontaires a rencontré son co-fondateur John Delaporte pour une interview exclusive. Il y est question d'engagement, de coopération internationale et, bien sûr, de volontariat 👉 https://lnkd.in/eksm6Xmn   🔴 Le 17 octobre et toute l'année, combattons la pauvreté à l'échelle mondiale.

On October 17th, the world comes together for the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty, a day created by the UN in 1992 to raise awareness and address global poverty. Despite progress, millions still live in extreme poverty, with young adults bearing a significant portion of the burden. Youth unemployment is nearly 3.5 times higher than that of adults, and young workers are twice as likely to live in extreme poverty (with less than $1.90 per day). As we reflect on these statistics, it’s crucial to discuss solutions for better #YouthInclusion. Join us at the Youth Inclusion International Forum (#YIIF) on October 23, 2024 to explore actionable strategies and connect with global experts committed to creating brighter futures for excluded young adults. 📍Year Up, 85 Broad street, NYC 🕒 8:30am to 1:10pm Together, we can drive meaningful change and help eradicate poverty for the next generation! ➡️ Register now through the link in comment #EndPoverty #GlobalChange #YouthEmpowerment
