LIFE PROJECT 4 YOUTH
LP4Y is a federation of 17 local organizations in 14 countries whose aim is the development of innovative solutions for the professional and social inclusion of Young people (17-24 yo) coming from extreme poverty and victims of exclusion.
Over the past 14 years, LP4Y has created solutions, always close to slum areas in large cities or in rural areas in the Philippines, Indonesia, India, Bangladesh, Nepal, Myanmar, and Lebanon working closely with the Young Adults who are contributing to the development of their country and community.
Since 2009, LP4Y has supported the inclusion of 6,715 Young Adults, and their families, into the professional world.
They have been accompanied thanks to 19 Training and Development Centers, 6 Green Villages, 4 Little Angel Academies, and 2 LP4Y Labs in South East Asia, South Asia, the Middle East, Europe, and the United States.
Join us in the field and work with Young adults to achieve LP4Y’s mission:

CAMPAIGN
with young adults coming from extreme poverty to offer concrete, grassroots solutions addressing inclusion issues and giving them a platform.

The Coach is accompanied on a daily basis by the country coordinator, who is supported by Project Leaders, and specialists in each of these pillars.
