Dear Donor,
Now that 2025 is here, make sure to take a look at our Annual Report as it marks a decade of Global Changemakers empowering youth to drive transformative change globally. This report reflects on the past year, showcasing our progress in supporting youth-led initiatives and supporting our Changemakers in all corners of the world.The report also highlights the substantial progress we've made in enhancing youth action and pursuing essential global objectives. It delves into our programs, resources, and projects, which have been instrumental in sustaining our influence and advancing initiatives such as our summits, schools, grants, and podcast.
2024 was a remarkable year for Global Changemakers, marked by achievements that we’ve been working towards from years back. In September, we hosted our first-ever LATAM Youth Summit in Spanish, gathering young leaders from across Latin America to collaborate on innovative solutions for the region's most pressing challenges. Another significant milestone was reaching 500 supported youth-led projects—a powerful indicator of the growing impact of our work. We were also thrilled to see the return of the Global Youth Summit, where 50 participants from around the world came together to share knowledge and inspire one another.
Our online school continued its incredible growth, surpassing 7,000 enrollments from 161 countries. Global Changemakers remains unwavering in its commitment to stand with them, we hope you can join us as we continue to work toward a brighter and more sustainable future.
+500 Youth-led projects funded
In 2024 Thanks to the support of our sponsors and partners, Global Changemakers has achieved the remarkable milestone of funding 513 youth-led projects worldwide, mobilizing thousands of young people and youth-led organizations across 180 countries. During the first days of 2025 we’ve already created and started the distribution of 20 scholarships for our Project Management Course in English and Spanish and our first grant funding cycle is set to start in March.
New Courses - MSRH in French
We believe in the transformative power of education and through our Changemaker School we’ve reached over 7000 students across the world. This year we will be launching a new version of the Menstrual, sexual and reproductive health Course created in french by doctors and experts from francophone countries. So far, thanks to the support of our sponsor the Lotte und Adolf Hotz-Sprenger Stiftung we’ve been able to reach +3000 changemakers across English and Spanish speaking countries. However, it is a reality that there is an existing need for this information to reach francophone regions. Stay tuned for the launch of this new course in 2025 as we will be also supporting MSRH related projects during the upcoming grant cycles.
