In
1984
the
YMCA
National
Councils
of
England,
Wales,
Scotland
and
Ireland
realised
that
they
needed
to
coordinate
their
international
humanitarian
relief
efforts
better.
Consequently,
Terry
Waite
CBE,
along
with
two
members
of
the
National
Council
of
England,
John
Naylor
and
David
Bedford,
officially
founded Y Care International. To this day Terry remains President of the charity and is an active advocate of the organisation's work.
Y
Care
International
forms
an
integral
part
of
the
YMCA
movement,
which
is
one
of
the
oldest
and
largest
voluntary
youth
organisations
in
the
world
and
now
operates
in
119
countries.
Y
Care
International
believe
that
young
people
are
the
catalysts
for
change
in
their
own
and
others’
lives;
therefore
their
needs are integral to the work that takes place in-country and through their partners.
As
the
years
have
passed,
Y
Care
International
has
strengthened
its
role
as
a
development
agency
with
a
strong
focus
on
supporting
some
of
the
worlds
most disadvantaged young people into work and out of poverty.
Y
Care
International's
unique
YMCA
network
currently
enables
them
to
operate
in
15
of
the
poorest
countries
in
the
world.
With
projects
in
Africa,
Asia,
Latin
America
and
the
Middle
East
their
primary
focus
is
on
working
with
young
women
and
men
aged
15-24
who
have
been
made
vulnerable
by
poverty,
inequality and injustice.
2018
has
seen
YCI
launch
their
new
strategy,
which
focuses
on
Employment
and
Enterprise,
as
enablers
to
support
more
young
people
into
work
and
out
of
poverty, they aim to create 1 million opportunities for young people to access decent work by 2030.
