The core work of Synergies & Impact² is focused on developing sustainable financing solutions to address the health and wellness needs of young people between the ages of 10-24.
Vision
The vision of Synergies & Impact² is that every adolescent and youth have the rights, opportunities, and skills to make informed choices about life, wellness and livelihood.
The Synergies & Impact² ventures identify the needs of young people between the ages of 10-24 and use data driven, technology based solutions to address them.
Synergies & Impact² creates platforms for young entrepreneurs, innovators, and incubators to test and scale up their ideas in diverse markets.
Synergies & Impact² strengthens for-profit and non-profit firms to better anticipate technology advancements in businesses and prepares them to be more efficient and effective in their strategies and implementation.
Impact
By the end of 2030, contributing to Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), Synergies & Impact² aims to reach one million young people through our three-pillar approach to create sustainable change in their lives.
We will also engage 10,000 professionals and workers and mentor them to perform at higher levels in the same time period.
