I’m currently involved with a young UK charity, UYDO, which stands for United Youth Development Organization. As Finance Manager, my main responsibility is to safely manage your donations, and ensure that the transfer of the funds to the local organizations and entrepreneurs we want to help happens as efficient and smooth as possible.
This is however not a shameless call for donations. On the contrary! We don’t want your donations today! (this is obviously a lie: please donate!!) I just wanted to provide you with some information on UYDO.
UYDO gives young people the opportunity to break the poverty cycle by helping them create opportunities for themselves. UYDO does this by raising funds which are then provided as a loan and combined with business training and mentoring programs. In the meanwhile, UYDO works alongside the entrepreneurs to assist them in starting up successful businesses.
More than anything else, UYDO stands for youth action! Young people from all around the globe can join, participate, and contribute to the UYDO cause, whether it is as a designated fundraiser, a shouter on the website, or as part of the executive committee.
Enough for now. I’ll definitely provide regular updates here, but do check out the website for more info. We intend to launch the pilot project within a matter of weeks!
Join, support, follow. How do you UYDO?
