Giving Young People a Chance

Youth in Sudan1 In 2013, Sudan will have 35 million people and young people make up 62% of this population.A quarter of youth living in urban areas and half of those living in rural areas are very poor. Many do not have the knowledge or the resources to start their adult lives in a productive way. Although their status is the key to Sudan’s future, all too many Sudanese youth remain in poverty, are ill-educated, unemployed, or in poor health.
