Awardees & Projects
We are honored to be supporting young people all over the world to take action around issues that they care deeply about.
With the Global Youth Action Fund (GYAF), IB is proud to award micro-grants to support young people’s innovative ideas and projects addressing the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
We are happy to have announced and celebrated two cohorts of awardees from 2023 and 2024 representing over 400 youth from 60 countries.
GYAF is an award open to any student or student group ages 12 through 19 who has a project or idea they believe will make an impact in their community. Each project must be aimed to support one of the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG).

Medical Financial Literacy AI Chatbot
We created a Medical Financial Chatbot to educate underdeveloped communities about the intricacies of medical insurance and finances. It is known that medical insurance is very confusing, and for those who may not understand English very well, the burden of sudden medical expenses may cause extreme stress in families.

Menstrual Empowerment Initiative
I aim to create a world where every person has access to affordable and sustainable menstrual products regardless of their socio economic status menstruation should be normalized and destigmatized so that girls and young women can manage their period with dignity and without financial burden.
