GCFIL in Bangladesh

Youth Leadership Development Project (YLDP)

Bangladesh is the country of youths. There are more than 32 million adolescents in Bangladesh. In a country with a young demographic, they make up 21 percent of the population. Youth is the biggest asset of this country. Successfully creating a resourceful youth community can become a revolutionary step. There’s no alternative to working with them for more significant country development. Bangladesh can progress valuably if the youth resources are utilised appropriately. Giving importance to this context, GCFIL Bangladesh has initiated “Youth Leadership Development Project (YLDP) ” in Bangladesh from 2020.
