WELCOME!

Thank you for your interest in IOFA!

Recognizing that nearly one third of the world's population is adolescent, and more than 85% of these adolescents live in the developing world, IOFA seeks to advance the health and well-being of this often underserved population.

By entering into partnerships with individuals, groups and community-based organizations, IOFA strives to improve the lives of young people through programming, advocacy, and progressive social/organizational change at the local, regional and international levels.

IOFA works to address emerging problems facing young people. Currently, IOFA is focused on two main initiatives - the Prevention of Youth Trafficking and Exploitation, and Girls Leadership Development, with several projects supporting each initiative. IOFA is also home to Train Tracks, International Training Institute on Human Trafficking. IOFA also has several projects under development, including a program to assist orphans and other institutionalized youth, and an initiative identifying environmental harms that affect the health and well-being of children and adolescents.
