Our story

For nearly a decades, Young Invest has been delivering funds and supporting solutions to build strong and resilient education systems so that more children in lower-income countries, especially girls, get the education they need to thrive and contribute to building a more prosperous and sustainable world.

We bring together lower-income countries, donors, international organisations, civil society, including youth and teacher organisations, the private sector and private foundations to transform education systems so that all girls and boys, especially those who are marginalised by poverty, displacement or disability, can get a quality education.

We support the countries with the greatest need: those with high numbers of out-of-school children and weak school completion rates. We focus on reaching the children who are most marginalised and vulnerable, including girls, children with disabilities and those who live in countries characterised by extreme poverty or conflict.

Our model has helped partner countries make significant progress in improving access, learning and equity, and achieve better outcomes for boys and girls.
