CHINA
Catalysing Youth Leadership for Community Climate Resilience
-
This 3-year project will partner with local changemaker groups who are already active in their communities. Through SHIFT, these youth-led groups will gain structured support to design and lead impactful, locally relevant movements that influence behaviour, strengthen resilience, and expand community participation in climate solutions.
Young people in China represent a powerful but under-leveraged force in the national climate response. SHIFT will help unlock that potential by providing clear action pathways, flexible funding, mentorship, and access to a globally connected peer network. Through this, we will transform youth concern into coordinated, constructive leadership for a greener future.

Bangladesh We Want: Youth Movements for Change
-
This 2-year project will partner with local, established changemaker groups who are already active in their communities — equipping them with the confidence, skills, and networks they need to design and lead movements to influence public discourse on issues that are most relevant to them. Young changemakers can also lobby with government agencies for systems strengthening to address youth related issues.
The goal is to transform their energy and ideas into sustainable community-led solutions — while also investing in local youth to become independent agents of change, beyond the support of any institution.

BHUTAN
Cyber Safe Generation
-
This 3-year project will partner with school-based digital safety clubs, youth-led peer networks, and local organisations — equipping them with the confidence, skills, and networks to design and implement movements that raise awareness and push for safer digital spaces. The focus is on cyberbullying, sextortion, doxxing, and digital exclusion — issues that increasingly impact adolescents, particularly girls and marginalised youth.
The goal is to empower Bhutanese youth to spearhead movements against online violence and cultivate their long-term leadership to safeguard the rights and well-being of young people within the country's evolving digital landscape. -

Unlocking Education for All

We will aim to reduce out-of-school rates in target areas by 30%, bringing back over 14,000 children into education, and ignite sustainable youth-led movements to drive the importance of education and re-set community expectations around the central barriers young people face.
To achieve this, the project will address the four biggest barriers preventing vulnerable children, especially girls, from accessing school:
Child Marriage
Early Pregnancy
Child Labour
Internal Displacement and Migration

The project will invest in local, youth and child-led groups across Kosovo from diverse ethnic backgrounds, including children with disabilities, to provide them with skills, networks, and resources to lead impactful campaigns on issues that matter the most to them.
