Financed by Bulgari, the Pathways tO Wellbeing, Empowerment and Resilience for Adolescents and Youth (POWER 4 AY) Programme is a ground-breaking first interpretation and application of Save the Children´s Adolescent Wellbeing Framework for Action which sets out how best we can support adolescents to fulfill their rights and maximize their wellbeing.  A reference programme in addressing inequality and discrimination, the POWER 4 AY accompanies young people in Albania, Bolivia, Nepal and Uganda who are empowered along transformative pathways to success and self-fulfillment from July 2021 to July 2026. 

The POWER 4 AY is a second phase to the previous 5-year Youth Empowerment Bulgari Programme implemented from 2016 to 2021 and is furthering the enormous impact already achieved in the same four countries.  Altogether, this powerful 10-year initiative supported by Save the Children Italy will directly reach 50 thousands adolescents and youth most impacted by inequality and discrimination by 2026.  Adolescents and youth wellbeing is addressed holistically through the POWER 4 AY Approach, triggering changes across multiple aspects of young people´s lives by:

(i) improving life skills, sexual reproductive health choices, and reducing violence, 

(ii) supporting inclusive educational pathways, 

(iii) enabling economic empowerment and transition to decent work, and 

(iv) encouraging agency and protagonism of young people in improving their environment.  

To achieve sustainable results, the Programme works across the socio-ecological model with young people, peers, families, communities, services, systems, laws and policies.
