The Crisis

Values like Non-Violence and empathy are missing into the educational diaspora of India. This leaves conflicts both personal and interpersonal to remain unresolved leading to escalation of these conflicts and at times violently. Over time as the individuals grows in such an environment he/she is unable to recognize and appreciate diversity thereby building stereotypes which can leads to extremist tendencies and violent conflicts. Societies are built by such individuals and the conflicts surrounding them. Such an environment therefore hampers peaceful co-existence.

Our Vision

Our vision is to build a “Peaceful and Sustainable world”. YfPI envisions a peaceful world of empowered individuals and sustainable societies.

Our Mission& Belief

Our team of Peacebuilders is on a mission to train 350+ million young people in India with values like non-violence and empathy with an aim of empowering young to build sustainable societies. Through theoretical and experiential learning modules we aim at empowering young people on recognizing and understanding inclusiveness, tolerance and how diversity as individuals and communities is a platform to collaborate and not compete.  We also invest our potential in providing opportunities to intern and volunteer for different causes with our belief that teaching is best leant and sustained when they are utilized for on ground purposes. Our exclusive ecosystem and partners like the UNDP and Commonwealth also help us provide a forum to start advocacy and grassroot projects which these trained young people have access to.  Fun, Sustainability and Service are our core values.

Our Model– All revenue collected from the trainings and other fundraising projects are used towards education, health and hygiene and rehabilitation of Rohingya refugees residing in New Delhi.

Our work

1. SafeSchools campaign

A World at School, an international movement working for education in emergencies, conducted a #SafeSchools campaign under their children’s charity ‘Theirworld’. Their network of Global Youth Ambassadors(including YFPI members) across the globe asked children to draw what a “safe school” would look like to reinforce the message that all children, no matter where they live or what their situation is, want to learn in a secure place to convince world leaders to fund education in emergencies in the first World Humanitarian Summit.

Our team collected over 200 drawings by children in support for the cause along with over 500 signatures for the #SafeSchools petition that was highly appreciated by AWAS
