There are 70 million young people in Central America and Mexico alone, they make up approximately 40% of the population and a large part is marginalized from economic, political and social processes. 25% have been left out of both the educational system and the formal workplace.
With 15 years of experience, TeenSmart International's (TSI) JovenSalud.net educational platform has 24/7 online services and is the main online resource for health promotion and personal skills for adolescents in the Region. It has served 80,000 Latin American adolescents and the demand continues to grow as an effective product is provided that provides a safe space, empathetic listening and timely advice for personal strengthening, emotional health, continuing to study and entering the world of work. These services have barely reached 1% of the population. Can you imagine if all adolescents had free services 24/7 for their personal strengthening?
