If you would like to be a part of our vision, by including World Youth International in your Will, you will assist us and join many other generous benefactors in readdressing some of the many imbalances that face women and children around the world.
What is a bequest?
A bequest is a commitment in a person's Last Will and Testament that stipulates the transfer of property such as money, shares, or tangible property to an individual or a charitable organisation.
Benefits
By making a bequest to World Youth International, you will be supporting our organisation in readdressing the many imbalances that currently effect women and children in the world.
Through the generosity of many and as part of our ongoing commitment to women and children, we have built the World Youth International School and Sapana Dreaming Centre for Humanity in Nepal. As the literacy rate of children is very low in Nepal, opportunities have now been created through our school to give the children an education and a good start in life.
An education trust fund has also been established for the children at Sapana Dreaming Centre for Humanity by Lyn Schodde in association with World Youth International. This will assist the children with tertiary education once they have completed high school and give them the opportunity to step outside of the poverty cycle they were destined for.
In Kenya our projects include the Mama Ann's Odede Community Health Centre in western Kenya which provides vital health care for people living in poverty.
We believe education is the best means of assisting women and children to reach their full potential and also as a way of reducing conflict, prejudice and poverty that is in our world today. Your bequest would be used to support World Youth International in readdressing some of the many imbalances that face women and children in the world today.
