Locally-Led Solutions

We believe those closest to the challenges can better identify needs and barriers and offer impactful and sustainable solutions. That’s why our investments have been informed by locally-led landscape analyses and country consultations with youth, policymakers, local organizations, and mental health experts.

Young People First

What is the most important part about Being? Young people are at the heart of this initiative — from serving as program advisors and key stakeholders in consultations that drive priorities to leading organizations that design and deliver the innovative solutions we support.
