YouMeWe (YMW) is dedicated to empowering, educating and inspiring young institutionalized individuals, ensuring they transition into adulthood as capable, self-reliant and thriving members of society. As they near the age of 18, YMW stands by their side, ready to support their transition into university, technical school or the workforce. YMW’s journey began in Japan, where we recognized the unique challenges faced by 33,000 orphans across 600 orphanages. Despite efforts to create nurturing environments, these children often lack the individualized attention and guidance needed to navigate their futures. YMW stepped in to fill this gap, offering a lifeline of support and opportunity.
