Making a difference to children's lives through the generosity of others
If you would like to be a part of our vision, by including World Youth International in your Will, you will assist us and join many other generous benefactors in readdressing some of the many imbalances that face the children of our world.
What is a bequest?
A bequest is a commitment in a person's Last Will and Testament that stipulates the transfer of property such as money, shares, or tangible property to an individual or a charitable organisation.
Benefits
By making a bequest to World Youth International, you will be supporting our organisation in readdressing the many imbalances that currently effect the children in our world.
Through the generosity of many and as part of our ongoing commitment to children, we have built the World Youth International School and Sapana Dreaming Children's Home in Nepal. As the literacy rate of children is very low in Nepal, opportunities have now been created through our school to give the children an education and a good start in life.
Read more An education trust fund has also been established for the orphan children at Sapana Dreaming Children's Home by Lyn Schodde in association with World Youth International. This will assist the children with tertiary education once they have completed high school and give them the opportunity to step outside of the poverty cycle they were destined for.
In Kenya our projects have included the World Youth International Owiti Children's Home, an orphanage for children whose lives have been affected by the loss of their parents through the HIV/AIDS virus.
A Community Care Centre has also been built at Rang'I Kenya, creating a home for more orphan children, a learning centre and a medical clinic for the use of the local community. We have also established a dairy and poultry farm, a posho mill and clean drinking water to make the centre self sufficient.
We believe education of children is the best means of assisting them to reach their full potential and also as a way of reducing conflict, prejudice and poverty that is in our world today. Your bequest would be used to support World Youth International in readdressing some of the many imbalances that face our children in our world today.
