Why LP4Y?

An emergency for Young adults

Jean-Marc and Laure Delaporte-Demeure

“For close to 25 years we worked in Europe, advising heads of large companies and their teams at all the key moments of the companies’ existence.

Then, for 12 months, from September 2008 to September 2009, we travelled the world, with our family, meeting

Young adults.

Motivated by our experiences and research, and the strength and enthusiasm of family and friends, we decided, without delay, to establish a first business incubator in the Philippines for Young adults facing extreme exclusion”.

Manila, Sunday November 2009

Vision

Young adults facing extreme exclusion are capable entrepreneurs of their Life Project as long as someone gives them a smile, a supporting word, room to grow, and trust.

Mission

Article 3 : AIM

The humanitarian association’s aim is to facilitate the social and professional integration of Young adults facing extreme poverty and exclusion, in the world.

The association will identify the situations of extreme poverty affecting Young adults, and help them develop their professional and social life project.

The association will accompany these Young adults throughout the learning process and enable them to become autonomous, independent and in turn involved in the development of others.

With the support of the association the Young adults will create the foundations of the social enterprises that will be the corner stone of their life project.

The association will create the best possible conditions for these projects, and will work alongside the Young adults, advising them throughout the growth process towards financial and social independence.
