CYMEF Aims for a Better World
Children all around the globe are directly impacted by the climate crisis, which is the biggest danger to their safety, education, and survival. The largest weight will fall on today's youngsters if the situation is not immediately addressed, especially those who reside in the world's most vulnerable areas.
We Help Build Capacity
Our initiatives are aimed at ensuring inclusive and equitable quality education and promoting lifelong opportunities for all
Advocacy for Children
For children, the globe has achieved enormous progress in the last generation, but this gain has not been distributed uniformly or fairly. To ensure that every child has the opportunity to realise their full potential, CYMEF advocate for the removal of obstacles standing in the way of their survival, education, and protection.
Basic Quality Education
Building the foundation for a lifetime of learning begins in a child's early years. We collaborate with communities to establish secure and engaging educational settings, to keep kids nourished and healthy, and to bring educational resources into homes so the entire family can support a child's education.
Equal Opportunities for All
We collaborate with local, national and international organizations and governments to provide equal access to basic education and create initiatives that help young people become more literate
Working together for mankind
One of the fundamental traits that underlie our way of functioning is the ability to engage mutually and cooperatively.
The world is in our hands
Our establishment is regarded as a source of motivation for people to succeed and be a better version of themselves.
Together we stand
We cannot be separated in interest or divided in purpose. We stand together until the end.
