What We Do

Lasting change begins with Community Leadership
Children at the Heart of Education
Access to quality education is a right. We are dedicated to enhancing education services in communities, ensuring they are inclusive and responsive to the diverse needs of children and youth. By partnering with local stakeholders, we create environments where every learner can thrive, actively participate, and have their voices heard. Strengthening responsive education systems helps young people realize their full potential, fostering better learning outcomes and brighter futures.
Community-led solutions to
climate justice
We believe that the fight for climate justice starts within communities. By empowering local leaders and harnessing indigenous knowledge, we work together to develop sustainable, community-driven solutions that address the unique environmental challenges they face. Through partnerships and collective action, we help build resilient communities that not only adapt to climate change but lead the way in creating a more just and sustainable future for all.
Meaningful access to civic and democratic spaces
We believe that every individual has the right to actively participate in shaping their community and country. By fostering inclusive civic spaces and strengthening democratic systems, we empower people—especially marginalized groups—to engage in decision-making processes, voice their concerns, and advocate for their rights. When communities have meaningful access to these spaces, they become agents of change, driving progress and building a more just and equitable society.
Linking Safe Spaces for Children
and Youth
We strive to build health systems that are equitable, youth-friendly, and attuned to the distinct needs of young people. Our focus encompasses adolescent sexual and reproductive health, HIV and AIDS, mental health, and nutrition for children. By ensuring that safe spaces are accessible and supportive, we work through partnerships and inclusive practices to empower children and youth. This approach fosters environments where they can thrive, promoting their overall well-being, and enabling them to live healthier, more fulfilling lives.

Our Levers of Transformation
At NYLI, our Levers of Transformation drive meaningful and lasting change within communities. By prioritizing critical themes, we empower individuals, families, and community organizations to build inclusive, sustainable, and resilient futures.

Social Protection
Social Protection is essential for promoting dignity and security among vulnerable populations. At NYLI, we advocate for robust safety nets that provide necessary support to families facing economic hardships. By collaborating with local governments and organizations, we strive to strengthen existing social protection systems and develop inclusive programs. Our focus is on addressing poverty, inequality, and social exclusion through targeted initiatives. We believe that effective social protection not only ensures access to resources but also empowers individuals to improve their livelihoods. Together, we can create equitable communities where everyone can thrive.
