it's our world

UK flagship programme ‘It’s Our World’ was officially launched on 15th June 2007 by the Right Hon David Wright MP. This entails us mentoring young adults in the 12 - 18 age group as they develop and deliver fund raising projects which they have identified and designed themselves.

Our world is in a delicate state and many of its young need (and desire) the opportunities that our young take for granted as both grow to maturity taking their place in the adult community. To help maintain its balance, the way that we see we can help is to provide opportunity through education and employment to those less fortunate than ourselves – to equip them better so that they can more fully contribute to their role as the ‘caretakers of tomorrow’ of our world!

Therefore, the funds raised will be for the benefit of poorer communities, initially in Ecuador, resulting in the UK youngsters involved developing a wider awareness of the world and gaining a direct understanding how life elsewhere differs from theirs. It will also provide them with 'real world' skills as we will provide training on many skills that are necessary to manage a project, skills that can be used in many aspects of life, e.g. financial awareness, risk management, organizational and planning, team working and communications, to name but a few!

It will require them to work as a team over a significant period of time developing communication and social skills, and will give them a sense of achievement that will provide confidence and self belief. It will be fun and a reason to become more involved in the wider world and may provide them with enjoyment of a dimension to life that they may not already have experienced, and in some instances provide a better and more socially aware outlet for their energies!
