“Asia is home to the largest population of young people in the world, but most of those young people are facing poverty, marginalisation, and a lack of access.” - Henna Hemnani, Director of Development for #Asia, EMpower—The Emerging Markets Foundation

These are critical challenges that the organisation aims to address. Operating at the crucial intersection of finance and youth empowerment, EMpower provides investments to the next generation of changemakers who are leading the charge to transform their lives and communities.

Over the past 25 years, EMpower has reached over 1 million marginalised youths across the globe, including more than 500,000 young girls and women. By supporting local organisations in developing markets, they have built a network of changemakers and young leaders working together to drive systemic change. 

EMpower is a curated impact opportunity programme on the Co-Axis digital impact marketplace. 💡 Supporting EMpower means supporting local organisations in developing markets who are creating meaningful impact, so that future generations can prosper.
