Online Resources

Take a look at our resources to help you through this tricky time – there’s lots to read and watch on inspiration and ideas through to training and development.

In the UK – Employability

Helping disadvantaged young people in the UK

In the UK, young people are nearly three times as likely to be unemployed as the rest of the population – the largest gap for more than 20 years. Peace Child helps disadvantaged young people make themselves employable through innovative youth-led, peer-to-peer training programmes.

In West Africa – Entrepreneurship

Reducing poverty in Africa

In West Africa, there simply aren’t enough jobs. In some parts, more than half of young people are outside the labour force. Their best chance of surviving is to start a business of their own. Peace Child is helping the world’s most vulnerable young people to develop the skills they need to do this.
