In 2024, the second year of our five-year strategy (2023-2027), we remained on track to achieve our ambitious goals, impacting over 34 million learners, educators, and caregivers through our projects, emergency responses, and innovation awards. We strengthened regional hubs, ensuring over 80% of our projects were locally run, and expanded our Global Youth Ambassador programme by training 2,204 more young people, reaching a total of 8,477 trained so far. Our investments included 40 projects and 36 small community grant initiatives, engaging thousands of young people across 141 countries. We mobilised a global network of campaign partners, securing commitments for early childhood education at the G20 Summit in Brazil, and welcomed major businesses such as Google, Microsoft, and Toyota to our Global Business Coalition for Education.
