About the Organization
Life Project 4 Youth is a federation of 19 organizations in 14 countries whose mission is the development of innovative solutions for the professional and social inclusion of Young people (15-24 yo) from extreme poverty and victims of exclusion. LP4Y supports the decent inclusion of thousands of Young people and their families in 41 programs, 20 Life Project Centers, 4 Little Angel Academies, 3 Green Villages, 4 Youth hostels, 2 LP4Y Labs in South East Asia, South Asia, Middle East, Europe and America. Over the past 10 years LP4Y has created solutions, always close to slum areas in large cities such as Manila, Cebu, Iligan, Cagayan de Oro, Calauan, Jakarta, New-Delhi, Kolkata, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Raipur, Chennai, Kathmandu, Yangon, Dhaka, and Beirut. Currently, we are 140 Catalysts in Asia working with Young Adults contributing to the development of their country. Since 2009, 2,493 youth have been accompanied to the professional world.
In Myanmar, LP4Y opened its first Training & Development Center in 2019 in Hlaing Thar Yar. The TDC was unforced to close due to the unstable political situation in November 2021. The Professional Training for Entrepreneurs (PTE) continued digitally to accompany the Youth from 18 to 24 year-old toward their professional integration. Despite the political situation, the Youth still have the opportunity to do internships and work on their professional integration. Since November 2022, we are glad to welcome 50 youth per year in our new Training Center in the French Institute, a professional and safe place where coaches are accompanying them toward their life project plan.
