About us

Who we are

EYGD stands for Endowment for Youth Global Development. We were established in 2011 to serve as a perpetual source of funds to empower youth to become ‘glocal’ citizens.

Go Glocal

Glocal is a combination of global and local - to think globally and act locally. Our mission is to build a community of glocal youths who have global perspective and taking action in serving local communities.

Serve

Emphasis on cooperative learning and action - through serving those who are poor, disadvantaged, marginalized, abandoned or neglected regardless of age, gender, nationality and religion.
