Voices for Wellbeing: Our Blog.

At WorldBeing, we believe wellbeing should be a guaranteed part of education. Through Youth First Rwanda, students and teachers are building the skills and confidence that help schools become places of both learning and care. The program supports young people to develop resilience, agency, and the tools to navigate challenges, strengthen relationships, and stay engaged in learning.

We are proud to share WorldBeing’s 2024–2025 Impact Report, a reflection of the progress made in partnership with governments, schools, and communities — and a look ahead at the future we are building together.
