WE act creatively. WE lead with purpose. WE Are Family - Youth to the Front!
summary
A foundation runs the Youth to the Front Fund, giving seed grants, mentorship and visibility to grassroots projects in the Global South; one early $5,000 grant helps a medical student build healing clinics and later raise about $4 million to scale two clinics and a farm. The program reports 40,000+ young people reached, targets the fact that only 1% of philanthropic funding goes to the Global South, and showcases repeatable small‑grant scaling.
