One Young World is a UK-based not-for-profit organisation that identifies, promotes, and connects the world’s most impactful young leaders to create a better world, with more responsible, more effective leadership. The annual One Young World Summit convenes the brightest young talent from every country and sector, working to accelerate social impact. Delegates from 190+ countries are counselled by influential political, business and humanitarian leaders such as Justin Trudeau, Paul Polman and Meghan Markle. Delegates return to their communities and organisations with the means and motivation to make a difference, accessing the global network of 12,000+ young leaders.
The Covid-19 Young Leaders Fund was established in May 2020 to fund initiatives from young leaders around the world that are directly battling the Covid-19 pandemic with tangible front-line results. From producing face masks and providing hand sanitisers in remote areas, to provide tech to community health workers, to ensuring refugee communities can access government health advice – the Covid-19 Young Leaders Fund welcomes a variety of solutions from all walks of life.
One Young World believes that young leaders are part of the most connected, informed, and resourceful generation in human history. Their capacity for innovation, understanding of digital tools and high levels of social responsibility make them a powerful actor in addressing any humanitarian challenge, especially this pandemic. One Young World raised $450,000+ due to the invaluable support of 4 generous philanthropic organisations: Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Ikea Foundation, United Way, and the Zurich Foundation. The 39 selected grant recipients, based in 38 different countries, have implemented the funding to outstanding effect, helping over 630,000 of the most vulnerable people around the world with medical supplies, nutritional relief, mental health support, and other forms of vital assistance.
