Hesed World launched in November 2025 after an important year devoted to listening, research, and strategic planning. We sought out the insights of young people in developing nations, practitioners on the ground, and government leaders and advisors from around the world. Then we capped it all off with a celebration and discussion in Geneva with our newfound network of partners, experts and friends.
Hesed World is now building pathways to development for many young people challenged by lack of opportunity and employment in their home countries. We've begun in Africa with a focus on initiatives that cultivate leadership, livelihoods and sustainable development.
Discover key insights from the Hesed World Mentorship Survey Report and learn how mentorship is shaping job and leadership opportunities for young people.
Participants from 11 countries, gathered for a virtual two-hour conversation on global positioning, entrepreneurship, and what it takes to build a career or business.
At the Hesed World Youth Capacity-Building Webinar in Spring 2026, Hiromi Amano illustrated what it takes to build a career from the ground up, and what that journey teaches young Africans pursuing the same ambition.
