GLOYEF is born

The Global Youth Entrepreneurship Forum for Good Leadership and Rural Development Goals (GLOYEF) is a non-profit organization that aims to empower young people to become entrepreneurs, leaders, and change-makers in their rural communities and global platforms.

It is a pioneering initiative that converges the power of youth entrepreneurship, innovation, and leadership to drive rural development and achieve the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). By fostering a culture of inclusion, innovation, and sustainability, GLOYEF empowers young entrepreneurs to become catalysts for positive change in the society.

Through its programs and initiatives, GLOYEF promotes innovation in rural areas, encouraging young entrepreneurs to develop creative solutions to pressing challenges. This approach not only enhances the quality of life in rural communities but also unlocks the economic potential of these regions. By leveraging technology, creativity, and resourcefulness, GLOYEF’s young entrepreneurs are developing innovative products and services that address pressing social and environmental issues.

Inclusion is a core principle of GLOYEF’s philosophy, recognizing that entrepreneurship and leadership opportunities should be accessible to all, regardless of gender, geography, or socio-economic background. By providing training, mentorship, and resources, GLOYEF bridges the gap between urban and rural areas, developed and developing countries, ensuring that young people from diverse backgrounds can participate and contribute to the development of their communities and nations.

GLOYEF’s commitment to the SDGs is evident in its focus on sustainable development, environmental stewardship, and social justice. By supporting young entrepreneurs in developing sustainable businesses, GLOYEF contributes to the achievement of SDGs such as No Poverty, Gender Equality, Climate Action, and Responsible Consumption and Production. By empowering youth to become change-makers, GLOYEF inspires a new generation of leaders who prioritize the well-being of people and the planet.

The Global Youth Entrepreneurship Forum is a beacon of hope for a brighter future, where young people drive sustainable development, innovation, and inclusion. By supporting GLOYEF’s mission, we can unlock the potential of youth entrepreneurship to achieve the SDGs and create a more equitable, prosperous, and sustainable world for all
