Join the World Soy Foundation in Empowering Youth to be Agents of Change!

May 22, 2014

We only have about nine days left in our campaign to raise funds for our new project “The Youth We Feed Can Lead.” Until May 31, an anonymous donor will match all funds raised, so your gift would be worth double! Our goal is to raise $2,500 by then—we’re about 20 percent of the way there!YouthFeed

The project will take place at one of our partner organizations in Guatemala, Proximos Pasos, and will empower youth to become agents of change in their schools, families and communities. We will combine low-cost video production equipment and training with nutrition education to create youth-led videos that can then be shared. Students will be able to share their new skills, knowledge and stories with their communities about the importance of healthy diets—including the benefits of soy protein.

Even more, the videos will then be shared across Spanish-speaking countries in Central America to educate thousands more. The long-term benefits are outstanding too!

Youth will have new skills and will be able to better communicate important information. The demand for soy dairies that produce healthy foods will rise with the greater knowledge about them. A greater demand means more local jobs for women, resulting in a better economy and more resources to provide more food for the children of these impoverished communities!
