Global Youth Work consists of projects empowering young people to take action on issues that are important to them. Any issue, from drugs to poverty, street-crime to public transport can be taken up and acted on with support from Harambee.

In our globalised society, every issue is a global issue. Through exploring with young people the issues they feel are important Harambee hopes to highlight the interconnectedness of the world today.
