Rural youth are often excluded from institutions that provide access to financial services, denying them credit, savings, and insurance. Skill development opportunities, education, or resources such as land are scarcely accessible.

ILC believes that empowering the next genereation will help redefine the relationship between urban and rural landscapes for a sustainable future.
Investing in young people, with particular focus to redress gender discrimination, will make a difference when tackling food and nutritional security, economic equity, social justice, inequality, social disintegration, and the climate crisis.
