WHAT WE DO

Make a leader, make a change.
CREATE LASTING IMPACT.

International Youth for a Better World (IYBW) is a non-profit organization that collaborates with local communities to cultivate the next generation of local leaders and change-makers. IYBW change-makers are dedicated to resolve community issues and transform the world into a better place. The IYBW professional development program assists them in developing life skills such as leadership, entrepreneurship, and advocacy.

PHILOSOPHY

“The Best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.” - Mahatma Gandhi

 

We aim to work in one country at a time, starting from Cambodia, to train, support, and produce a minimum of 300 entrepreneurs, change-makers and civic leaders.

​

For a widespread and long-lasting progress to happen in a world that is becoming more interconnected, we must work to strike a balance between a local focus and a global network.

FOUNDER'S
STORY

President Chin Thomith

Growing up in abject poverty and raised by a single-mother education was almost too far to pursue for Thomith Chin. There were many times that he could not afford to pay a one-dollar monthly fee for an English class taught by a monk in the monastery when he was in Cambodia. Breakfast and lunch were often a trade-off with a part-time class fee.
