Youth Impact International 3.01

Youth Impact International formerly known as Youth in Action Baluchistan is an independent registered non-government and nonprofit civil society organization. YI prime motto is capacity building and services delivery to the deprived and marginalized people of the society.

In 2007 a group of educated, dynamic and like-minded youth working in the development sector, got together to establish an organization, for addressing the most urgent and pressing needs of the people.

Considering their association with the development sector the group was cognizant of the plethora of problems plaguing the province. Consequently, the organization’s focus was not kept limited either in in terms of geography or sector. Whilst operating in different districts of the province, YI has been carrying a range of interventions in the areas of education, health & hygiene, youth & women empowerment, emergency response & preparedness, governance, free legal aid, human rights, etc.

The type of activities undertaken by the organization range from capacity building to service delivery, with focus remaining on the deprived and marginalized segments of the society. Whereas in terms of operations what characterizes YI’s functioning are its efforts to (a) enlist involvement of the locals when initiating activities at the grass root level; and (b) mobilize women for bringing peace, tolerance, and development in society.
Although a somewhat new entry in the development arena, YI – owing to the linkages of its members with national & international funding agencies – enjoys a diverse portfolio, characterized by partnership with organizations like USAID, UN-FAO, UN-Habitat, UN-WOMEN, Ministry of Human Rights & Rural Development Department, Government of Baluchistan, Baluchistan Education Foundation, White Ribbon Alliance Pakistan, ASER.
