Enriching Young Lives

Enriching Young Lives Around the World

Our groundbreaking Enriching Young Lives initiative has helped thousands of young people in underprivileged communities gain access to life-changing opportunities.

By partnering with respected charities in Asia, Africa and the Middle East, we ensure funding and related support reach children who are most in need.

While the nature of their work may differ, each of our charitable partners are united in a single cause – to enrich the lives of underprivileged young people through sustainable health and education initiatives.

By working together to improve the wellbeing and prospects of today’s children in need we can offer them a better tomorrow.

“Enriching Young Lives reflects our goal as an organisation to give back to the communities in which we operate. We take great pride in the fantastic progress being made by charity organisations we support who are helping underprivileged young people enjoy better lives.” - Rob Burns, CEO of The First Group
