share one youth’s story of OVERCOMING THE BARRIERS OF POVERTY

This #InternationalYouthDay, we’re celebrating young people like Cheene, a sponsored 18-year-old in the Philippines. Around the globe, youth like her defy the odds through hard work, perseverance, and simply being given the opportunity to succeed in completing their educational goals.

Despite numerous struggles — many of which were compounded by the pandemic — our disadvantaged youth continue fighting for a better future and a better world.

Today, we celebrate all of them! Join us by sharing Cheene’s empowering story of resiliency.
