Be the Change is a Sharek concept that has been brought forward and expanded through a new project in cooperation with the UNFPA. The project aims to support marginalized youth and encourage community work and activity.

The project will support youth to work in their communities and support those communities indirectly through this work. The project targets marginalized and under-served communities. Now in its pilot phase, the project has already started to give youth a chance to improve their situations.
