Ways to interact with this organization
The Most Important in Brief
Yesterday-Today-Tomorrow (YTT) is a notable international non-governmental organization founded in late 2017 and headquartered in Paris. We focus exclusively on programs for marginalized children, women and youth. Our programs are multidimensional, reaching over 65,000 schoolchildren, 1,000 teachers, and 400 community workers in 120 schools and 8 Universities across 11 countries.
Purpose
To empower marginalized children, women, and youth through transformative education, mental-health, peace-building, gender-equality and community-based programs that promote dignity, resilience, and opportunity.
Goals
To provide inclusive, culturally relevant support for vulnerable populations
To foster social cohesion and non-violence through peacebuilding initiatives
To build the capacity of teachers, schools, and communities to support sustainable change
To reach underserved populations across borders, especially in crisis-affected regions
Principles
YTT is guided by a rights-based, inclusive, and participatory approach. We believe in equity, non-discrimination, and locally driven solutions. Our work is rooted in empathy, partnership, and long-term social impact, prioritizing the empowerment of those most often excluded from decision-making and opportunity.
Measures
To achieve our goals, YTT implements:
Participatory educational programs in formal and non-formal settings
Psychosocial support and mental health interventions for children and youth
Teacher and community worker training in inclusive and trauma-informed methodologies
Community-based peacebuilding through theatre, dialogue, and cultural practice
Monitoring, evaluation, and adaptive learning systems for continuous improvement
Financing
YTT is financed through a diversified portfolio of grants from private foundations, international cooperation agencies, public institutions, and academic partners. We also benefit from in-kind contributions, pro bono expertise, and collaborative program co-funding with local organizations.
