Annual Report 2018

For Dance4Life, 2018 was an exciting and important year. We joined forces against the biggest sexual health threats young people face: HIV, unwanted pregnancies and sexual & gender-based violence.

60.602 YOUNG PEOPLE PARTICIPATED IN OUR PROGRAM IN 2018. THAT BRINGS OUR TOTAL SINCE 2004 TO 2.235.135.

The urgency

One in four people on our earth are between 10 to 24 years old. The biggest youth population ever. We need to invest in this group and garner the active participation of young people who can bring the social and economic progress we so badly need.

However, far too many young people are unable to reach their full potential. Extreme poverty, inequality or lack of information holds them back. In the face of uncertainty and insecurity, young people are less likely to practice healthy and safe sex, have stable relationships or make informed decisions about if and when to have children.
